A friend of ours sent me this article today because my husband and I are just beginning our cruising life this coming season. I think we may have just bought your previous boat, Windfall. We were buying it from Doug and Anna... is that by chance who you sold it to? Ironic, if so! I have some pictures posted on our blog www.plottinganescape.com of the boat. We are heading back down at the end of October to begin cruising the Sea of Cortez for a while. Maybe we will run into you somewhere! Meredith and Tim Hi there!

We are in the process of building up the kitty for an extended - 24 month? cruise through the Caribbean and down to central america. It has proven difficult to find detailed information from other cruiser's experiences. We have completed a couple 60 to 90 day trips that have provided some insight into our spending habits. Your post reinforces some of our observations and provides a comparable look at areas where we differ. Thanks! Thanks for the valuable insight into your budget and expenses.

Mexico is the perfect place to be to cruise on a budget. Central America would be good, too. But you'd need to double that for French Polynesia (if not more.) Fortunately, from Samoa through Vanuatu it goes back down some.
