Default Cruising in Poverty

Is that why she's an ''ex'' ?

My ex and I cruised for 2-1/2 years aboard a Coronado 35 equipped with
solar and wind generators that supplied all the power we needed;
autopilot and electronic/GPS charting and watermaker. It was totally
self-contained. We mostly anchored out and had about a year of food
aboard. Some months our cost was $0.00, others a few hundred. A friend
spent about 6 years with his son and daughter, using the engine a lot
to move and to charge batteries. They almost always anchored out. He
said it averaged about $300 a month.
