Table of contents-
Forward: Twenty years and 150,000 miles ago Scott Fratcher and
his wife Allison Thompson set off cruising on their rugged steel, “bought
on the cheap”, home built sailboat. They left with thirty dollars
in cash, and no money in the bank. Scott and Allison brought with them
a boatload full of tools and the skills needed to work along the way.
This book contains the system they used to first survive, and then prosper
working there way along in the third world.
Scott Fratcher has been a continual “highliner” in the field
of “drybacks” and is a world leader in his ability to work
along the way while still enjoying the cruising lifestyle. Now for the
first time ever a book specifically explains the systems and processes
to allow the “poor” yachtie to leave now and never return
to the “real world” until they desire to do so. This book
contains the methods to achieve true freedom from the rigors of everyday
life. You may still have to get up and go to work every day, but you’ll
be doing it at your own pace and from remote locations surrounded by
tropical fish, coconuts and wonderful cruising folk who also made the
break.
This is NOT a book on how to live cheap. It’s a book on how to
make money on the cruising circuit working for other yachts. The book
also contains methods of shipping your products back “home”
or working for the first world from your international “mobile
work platform”. Either way this book contains 50 proven onboard
small business that cruisers the world over are using to make their
living while enjoying the freedoms of the cruising sailboat. Cruising
Careers is full of true stories of how thriving cruisers have succeeded
in living their dream TODAY!

My Apology:
I was born dyslexic. When the time came to publish the first version
of this book I was faced with paying an editor and proof reader. The
price for both would have to been passed on to the reader. After much
thought I decided to release the first version as quickly as I could
to get the word out.
For that reason I am releasing this book NOW, and will be correcting
the last of the errors… soon.
