Chasing the Nomadic Dream

From the author of Becoming a Sailor, Journey to the Ragged Islands, and Sailing to Newfoundland

Step into the life of the author as he chases his dream of ditching his life on land and embracing that of a nomadic cruising sailor. After selling his house and getting rid of everything else that won't come aboard, the author buys an old sailboat and embarks on a solo mission to live a simple nomadic life, surrounded by nature, on the water. Come along for the ride: sailing offshore, alone, and through the Bahamas.

Chasing the Nomadic Dream is a nonfiction singlehand-sailing adventure, beginning with buying a boat in Massachusetts, moving aboard, and trying to make it to The Bahamas ahead of the coming winter. The book is immersive, sometimes dramatic, and occasionally poetic.

The author shares the beauty, adventure, hardships, and all the emotions that come with offshore solo sailing and exploring tropical islands, both above and under the water, as well as lessons learned along the way, GPS locations of anchorages, descriptions of spearfishing and surfing, photos, and poems.

Whether you are an armchair sailor wanting to live the dream vicariously, or an offshore sailor looking to gain experience through listening, this book will take you there.

Wonderful story and narration!

Enjoyed living vicariously through the author as he adventured with his sailing boat to the Bahamian islands finding new adventure, testing himself and his boat as he went.

Sailing part is great.

All in all a good book, but I could live without the pandemic commentary which now seems awkward and dated.

Dream Food

If you dream about the sailing life, this will fuel the fire. Great work, Paul. Hope to meet you out there one day.

Another Hit
