Hello on the high seas ond closer to shore,

We are contemplating cruising as a step up from day and weekend
sailing. Suppose a 36' sailer with 2 or 3 person on board want to
sail around and make portcalls during a certain timeperiod.
I would like to ask the greater boating community to contribut some $$
figures for the various costs involved.
What kind of typical cost are to be anticpated; boatsize related,
legal/immigratiom/customs,harbour and berthing,
food and supplies etc etc.
Please give approx figures and assume condition you be familiar with.
Also any info how different destinations compere in terms of cost.

Do draw up budgets for this nice possibility to spend time is
important, so all replies can and I am shure will be
much appreciated.
We would be.
Ahoy the 4Ms



Wife and I have done the Pacific loop (puget sound-southern
chile-french poly-Hawaii-puget sound on a IP31 sailboat in the
mid 1990's.
Our monthly buget was $1000. We stayed below that most months.
The main factor is your lifestyle: eatting out,docking,paying
for services etc. We lived simple, anchored out,ate in and spent
little and had a blast.
Its all how you want to do it.
Have fun, BnJ
