Dolphins Under My Bed Sandra Clayton Wheatmark ISBN: 978-1-58736-816-5 Non-fiction, Memoir, Travelogue Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Retiring on the sea. No mortgage payments. Waking up each morning to the sounds of the water. The chaos of the city and the rat race left far behind. The freedom.

It sounds absolutely fabulous. The idea of selling the house, retiring, and living on a boat is a common fantasy. Dolphins Under My Bed is the travelogue of a couple who decided to live their dream, well the author’s husband’s dream. The author herself was quite wary about the entire concept. Her limited experiences with boats and sailing had not done anything to feed her enthusiasm. I think she only agreed to the possibility of retiring on the water because she hoped that somewhere along the line her husband would change his mind.

I highly suggest this book for anyone dreaming about retiring and living on the water. Dolphins Under My Bed is an honest work showing both the good and the bad about this kind of life. There were a lot of things I think that this couple were ill prepared for and a resource like this could have been a big help.
