A funny memoir of falling in love, getting married, and moving aboard a boat. A young woman meets an amazing guy, falls in love, and they move in together. Straightforward enough, right? Except he lives on a boat—a 38-foot trawler, docked in Chicago. Their relationship is intensified by living in a tiny space, and by the never-ending quirks of the boat, who becomes a third party in the marriage. There are electrical failures, pump failures, big waves, and freezing winters . . . not to mention the attack goose. Felicia Schneiderhan has a fine literary sensibility and manages to be both funny and deeply serious in writing about boats and love and relationships. This book will delight any boater, or any land-dweller dreaming of escape. “Newlyweds Afloat is a love story between a woman, a man, and his boat. Felicia Schneiderhan recounts with humor and skill the story of her transformation from a Chicago apartment dweller to a newly married river rat on Chicago’s waterways. With an eye for the absurd, she reveals the ups and downs, joys and challenges, and day-to-day logistics of living aboard a 38-foot trawler named Mazurka—even in winter. Newlyweds Afloat is full of high-seas drama and flat water reflection plus cats and lots and lots of heart. I could not stop reading it.” —Julie Buckles, author of Paddling to Winter “Newlyweds Afloat is a wife’s story of learning to be the other woman, with a man who loves his boat. This detailed account takes an honest look at many of the difficulties of life aboard a trawler, and learning to love his boat as much as he does.” —Ed Robinson, author of Leap of Faith: Quit Your Job and Live on a Boat

Newlyweds Afloat is full of high-seas drama and flat water reflection plus cats and lots and lots of heart.

This detailed account takes an honest look at many of the difficulties of life aboard a trawler, and learning to love his boat as much as he does.”—Ed Robinson, author of Leap of Faith: Quit Your Job and Live on a Boat“You get drawn in because of her straightforward style. Won’t it be interesting to get hitched and live on a boat right away? Like marriage alone wasn’t a big enough life change. You get carried along into courtship and life on the water. It’s an adventure for the reader. Schneiderhan describes two transitions simultaneously: Single-life to married life, and landlubber to boat-dweller. You don’t even realize how much is happening at once. So, you’re reading and laughing and, whoa, wait a minute. That was a truth bomb. Suddenly, this book catches you by surprise and Schneiderhan makes some pretty courageous revelations. Sure the book is about relationships. And boats. And later about kids. You even come to see Mazurka as a character, and a sturdy one at that.”—Eric Chandler, author of Outside Duluth“It is quite a story. How they kept their marriage alive during all of the liveaboard crises I cannot imagine, but the story is inspiring about the need for tradeoffs, because Felicia gives such a wonderful picture of the positives.”—Libby Hill, author of The Chicago River: A Natural and Unnatural History

Newlyweds Afloat is the love story that happens after "I do By Betsy Green Newlyweds Afloat is the love story that happens after "I do," when a couple begins the real life challenges of building a life together. In this case, those challenges are exemplified by the unusual environment of living on a boat. It's not all smooth sailing (sorry), and the candor with which the author writes about the adjustments and adaptations she and her husband make in their new life together is refreshing.

Adapt, Overcome, Improvise By Mark Child The book ostensibly (and beautifully) tells the story of an extraordinary courtship and the even more extraordinary life lived on the trawler, Mazurka: the floating home to Felicia and her husband Mark.There are stories of the practical nature on how to live in such small quarters, how to stay warm in the winter and the on-going, never ending cycle of repair and maintenance of the boat itself. Each of those stores is told with wit and a clear-eyed elegance that is the author's greatest gift. But this isn't really about life on a boat - though it takes place on a boat. It is about life itself, about challenging yourself to change, to adapt, overcome and improvise a new life. It is, of course, about love: a big love, an honest thing, and the trials and rewards of seeing where it might take you. If you can bear the last passage without believing in miracles, then no miracles will ever exist for you.I know nothing about boats. I know a little something about love and adventure. Reading this book has cracked that view a bit wider, with a generous spirit, inviting the reader in to take a place at the table to overhear this family's origin story . Buy this book and be rewarded with excellent company on your way.

Desperate for the resolution to a somewhat frightening story about her son falling in the water, I visited her blog to finish the segment. Then, I had another teaser from Amazon when I purchased the book... again, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the rest of the story. Finally got it in the mail and read it every chance I got while nursing my newborn and after putting my kids to bed. Felicia puts us right there on the boat and also lets us in to her beautiful, sensitive, observant mind.
