Living on the water: A celebration of life, love, and food aboard a classic yacht

Living on the Water; Celebrating Life, Dreams, and Food aboard a Classic Yacht is the true story of one man's quest to fulfill his lifelong dream of doing something extraordinary by opening a floating restaurant, and the amazing voyages, evolutions, heartbreaks and miracles he experienced on that journey. When I came across a sinking trawler awaiting auction in the Chula Vista marina, I saw the opportunity to fulfill my dream, but acquiring the eighty foot boat would be just one of a multitude of steps in achieving that goal... And once the floating restaurant was operating the adventure had just begun. An arsonist's firebomb, a corrupt marina manager, a clash with a ring of child predators (and some help from Oprah), and a chance glimpse at a sign in Napa all changed the course of the Barkissimo during her journey of adventure. In achieving my life's goal, I found that even the best dreams are bound with seemingly overwhelming challenges and sublime bliss. I discovered how to hold on, how to let go, and how to appreciate the smallest details of a richly lived life. Filled with adventure on the high seas, tales of life abroad, wonderful food, delicious romance, unimaginable tragedy, birth and death, Living on the water is a humorous love letter to the road less traveled.
