Clare Allcard

The Intricate Art of Living Afloat

Whether you're stepping aboard for a week, a year, or a lifetime, The Intricate Art of Living Afloat is an indispensable companion in your adventure.

Learn how to predict a squall; navigate customs; earn money as you go; cope with heart attack, malaria, or simple sunburn; gut and dry the fish you've caught; stretch your fresh water supply. Clare Allcard's insights to all of these topics, and many more, come directly from her own long experience in living afloat. With The Intricate Art of Living Afloat as your guide, soon you too will know both the satisfaction of self-reliance on the open sea and the thrill of sailing away into that blue yonder.

In 1974, Clare Allcard and her husband Edward, along with their baby daughter, moved aboard the Johanne Regina, a 69-foot former Baltic trader, in which they continue to cruise around the world.
