He ditched his law practice, lives on a boat. How’s that working out?

Retired lawyer Howard Scott grew up in Athens, Georgia, and now spends most of his time on his boat, Capricho, sailing the Caribbean and the U.S. coast.

He just published his first novel, “Rascal on the Run,” an often hilarious murder suspense loosely based on his colorful family’s law practice.

Read Scott’s story here about the daily challenges of living on a boat, his favorite places, how he retired in his 40s and the incredible story of how he and his crew rescued several people stranded in the Gulf of Mexico near a capsized boat south of the Turks & Caicos.
