About this title

Synopsis

Adventures Aboard Rick's Place is a story of a solo sailor, based on the author's adventures, both real and imagined.

Follow Rick through his carefree youth and then later in life as a series of events leave him jobless and wondering just what comes next. The reader will live vicariously through this charming landlubber turned sailor as he realizes everybody's dream of escaping the rat race and sailing off into the sunset.

The road to paradise is a bit rocky as Rick faces fear and loneliness when he encounters storms, a stowaway cat and unrequited love along the way. There is also a lot of fun as Rick meets an odd assortment of new friends and quirky characters during his journeys.

The story culminates with a life-changing event that once again leaves Rick guessing about the future. But one thing is certain: you will find yourself rooting for this resilient young man.

This humorous account will leave you longing to visit the beautiful South Pacific Isles Rick sails to, as well as giving you a realistic look at the adventurous cruising lifestyle experienced by those traveling the Coconut Milk Run.
