"Lost at Sea is an invaluable account of an unconventional community struggling to stay afloat. The story of the anchor-outs will resonate with all Americans, even the landlocked." -- Malcolm Harris, author of Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World
Synopsis
A deep and personal look into the lives of "anchor-outs"--a homeless community in California living at sea on abandoned boats--casting light on the struggles and resilience of those surviving on the fringes of society. Set against the backdrop of Richardson Bay, Lost at Sea explores the lives and motivations of a unique Californian community known as the "anchor-outs": a seafaring community who've repurposed abandoned vessels into their homes. In recent decades, the animosity between the anchor-outs and the wealthy residents of Marin County--one of the richest in the whole country--has devolved into pure class warfare, with many of the hillside mansion-owners upset that their view of the water is obstructed. Kloc found that life on the anchorage is a lens into the struggles of so many homeless people who are at odds with societal norms, as well as those with significantly more means. The residents of Marin County, for example, pose environmental concerns about the anchorage; simultaneously, their aged sewage system is prone to spewing literal garbage on the streets. In many ways, the story of the anchor-outs is the story of being poor in America. Examining profit-driven policies that exacerbate the contemporary housing crisis, Lost at Sea weaves together stories from within the anchorage alongside the rich history of the region, spanning from the Gold Rush era to the devastating fire of 1906. From a contemporary vantage point, it delves into the intense conflicts that arise between the anchor-outs and the affluent hillside communities which seek to dismantle the community for financial and recreational purposes. Along the way, Kloc discovers a quiet beauty in the community built within the anchorage: how they've learned to care for each other, push back against capitalism and harmful policies, and, ultimately, advocate for a way of life that looks different than it does on shore. In doing so, Lost at Sea sheds light on the stark contrast between wealth and destitution within this very community--and speaks to the tragic, complex effects of homelessness writ large across America., A deeply personal nine-year account of the lives of the "anchor-outs"--an unhoused community living off the California coast on abandoned boats--that explores the struggles and resilience of those surviving on the fringes of society. In the wake of the financial crisis, the number of anchor-outs living in Richardson Bay more than doubles as their long-simmering feud with the wealthy residents of Marin County--one of the richest counties in the country--finally boils over. Many of the shoreline's well-heeled yacht club members and mansion owners blame their unhoused neighbors for rising crime on the waterfront. Meanwhile, local politicians accuse them of destroying the Bay Area's marine ecosystem and demand their eviction. When the pandemic breaks out, a slew of city and regional authorities heed the call: they seize and crush the anchor-outs' boats, arresting dissenters as they dismantle one of the nation's oldest unhoused communities. Kloc's near-decade-long firsthand account of the joys, hardships, and eventual demise of the anchor-outs is in many ways the story of being poor in America. Examining the profit-driven policies that exacerbate the contemporary housing crisis, Lost at Sea weaves together tales of comradery and survival on the anchorage with the rich history of the region, from the creation of unspeakable wealth during the San Francisco Gold Rush era to the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and fire of 1906, when the first unhoused people dropped their anchors in Marin County. Along the way, Kloc discovers the quiet beauty of the world the anchor-outs built: how they've learned to care for each other, band together to fend off real estate developers and NIMBY neighbors, and fight for a way of life that is entirely unrecognizable to those on shore. Lost at Sea explores the often overlooked world of poverty and homelessness that exists in even the wealthiest enclaves of America, where people who have fallen on hard times struggle to rebuild their lives among those who would rather just wish them away.
