Darling, Call the Coast Guard, We're on Fire Again!: and Other Tales of Liveaboard Life

Description

Liveaboards-people who choose to live permanently on their boats-are a unique and colourful element along the west coast. Almost every harbour has its floating village, and the camaraderie of the docks is legendary. Catherine Dook offers her readers a fond and funny peek inside this unconventional lifestyle, where nothing stays still and everything depends on the weather.
