Tracy Shelton's Life on the Water: A Journey of Adventure and Resilience
Tracy Shelton and her husband Marion transitioned from a conventional land-based lifestyle to living full-time on a boat, cruising along the eastern U.S. coast from Key West to Annapolis. Over 15 months, they encountered severe storms, mechanical challenges, and personal struggles while embracing the beauty of marine life, historic cities, and boating communities. Tracy shares her detailed experiences, including provisioning while at sea, overcoming medical challenges, and the profound impact of seeing ocean pollution, which led her to open an eco-friendly salon in Venice, Florida. Get an inside look at the highs and lows of life on the water, the unique friendships formed, and the invaluable lessons learned along the way.
