Get Real, Get Gone: How to Become a Modern Sea Gypsy and Sail Away Forever...

By Rick Page

Book Overview

The idea that you have to be rich to travel the world on your own yacht is so universal that it goes largely unquestioned. The ubiquitous images of rich men on super-yachts sipping Martinis only help cement this image. This book hopes to change all that. 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. If you are not rich, but dream of seeing our beautiful world from the deck of your own boat, this book is packed full of practical and spiritual advice to help you cut through the endless marketing and identify what it is you truly need to become a modern sea gypsy and sail away on the greatest adventure of your life ...

Customer Reviews

A truly inspirational book if you've ever had that dream

Rick answers many of the questions you didn't know to ask. A must have book before you purchase a boat. His attitude towards our consumer society is right on track especially when it comes to being hypnotized buy those beautiful color pictures of sailing yachts. Having owned a few boats myself I have made the same mistakes that the author warns against. An invaluable resource. And when Rick says email him, he means it. I emailed him with questions and he responded. So refreshing these days. He's the real deal.
