Story4.5 out of 5 stars 338
Erik and Emily skillfully reveal that it is possible to live big on a shoestring budget while giving their family an astonishing education in adventure, creativity, purpose, and grit. Told alternately by Erik and Emily, Seven at Sea is a portrait of a captivating and resilient family and a celebration of the courage it takes to head for something over the horizon.

What a risk in life to take! Very courageous. Thank you for sharing. One thing though, and maybe I just missed it. But in the end what was making the boat sink? I wish that part was elaborated on. Thanks!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 108
Rick's recent appearance on Ben Fogle's New Lives in the Wild chronicled his budget lifestyle and adventures aboard Calypso, and introduced the idea of budget sailing to a whole new audience - an audience who may have never considered the possibility that such a dream could be made a reality, on such a small amount of money. This book is for them and for any experienced sailors who want to cast off the yoke of consumerist yachting and get back to what really matters at sea.

I enjoyed every moment of this book. Rick the author lays it out in a real way with humor and suspense. Perfect book for a novice like myself. He puts sea gypsy life in perspective. He even took the time to write back to my email! I’m gonna go check out his next book asap.
