It's a losing proposition and I find that $24,000, half of what the
average American earns in a year, outrageous.

Perhaps, but my expenses on the GB are even higher. I think it's safe
to say that the average American does not own a boat worth well into 6
figures. In our case we view it as a second home.


It's good we're having this discussion - just adds more fuel to my
fire about cruising. :)



For around $150,000, you can buy a nice, modern, small house on acreage
in Costa Rica, farm coffee (or lease the land out), and be within
spitting distance of fabulous fishing, and without spending a fortune on
a boat. I have a retired friend down there who did that three years ago.

More proof the lobster boat was a wild fantasy.
