The value: affordable living at sea

The World

For our series, “The Value,” Takeaway correspondent Farai Chideya traveled to the Bay Area for a lesson on how to live on the cheap in one of the country’s most costly neighborhoods. A family in Sausalito, California, manages to cut costs by living on their boat. By avoiding expenses like the cost of a car and gas, the family is able to sail around the world and return home with adventurous stories to tell.
