Boat Bum: Searching for Freedom in an Unfree World is a nonfiction memoir about choosing freedom over comfort and the open sea over ordinary life.

After restoring a neglected racing sailboat, the author sets out along the Florida coast and beyond, navigating storms, solitude, and the realities of life offshore. What begins as a sailing journey becomes a deeper exploration of independence, risk, and the cost of living outside society's rules.

Honest, reflective, and vividly written, Boat Bum is not a fantasy escape-but a true story of resilience, self-reliance, and finding meaning through movement and uncertainty.

Perfect for readers who enjoy memoirs, sailing adventures, travel writing, and philosophical reflections on freedom.
