Product Description:
Annie Hill wrote this book to answer all the questions that always come up about what they are doing. Annie and Pete Hill voyage on Badger, a Benford 34' Sailing Dory. An income of $3,000 a year lets them do this without stopping to work. They built Badger, live aboard her, and have sailed her over 80,000 miles. It's a wonderfully descriptive account of not only what they're doing, but how they have done it and the philosophy of simplification and cost-benefit analysis they use to sort out their priorities. For those who want to follow in their wake, or set off on their own adventures, there's a wealth of information on how-to-do-it here.

The book was very informative just as I expected. but it started to fall apart the same week I recieved it. the cover fell off and the pages started to fall out. as I keep all of my books for future refrence this was very disapointing.

I can't remember when I bought this book, but as one of its reviewers noted, it can change your life. I'm a 67-year old retiree building Badger, the boat Annie's book is about. It's a wonderful book, and her occasional tartness about things we think we need but don't is icing on the cake. Building her is not difficult - epoxy is magic, read Parker and Buehler and the Gougeon brothers, and trust your eye and hand: you'll do fine - it has the single most gratifying experience of my life.

This is one of those few books that was written from the soul. Reading Annie's book is like having a conversation with some of your best friends over a cup of cocoa in their livingroom.
The information given here prompts one to think about what's important in his or her particular circumstances. After reading this book I feel that I would not live completely like Annie and her husband but I would probably approach each problem of living aboard a boat and cruising in the same logical fashion.

An excelent an informative book by someone with the runs on the board. Thank you Annie. Not the least for re-igniting a somewhat jaded enthusiasm. I want my own "Badger".

Very often the finances of cruising are left out of the discussion, and here it is not. It's really an inspiration. Still, I think it's important to note that Anne doesn't sail a junk anymore, and that she's living a bit different life that's perhaps a bit more moderate. Also try "Sea-steading" Jerome FitzGerald to fill out the vision a bit, get them both.
