I am new to the site, and have been amused at the comments posted to my last inquiry, and I thank you for the entrainment. How on a more serious note, I am sure, out there on the waterways, someone has done a study on costs. Can anyone tell me what exactly it will cost me to live aboard, as a continuous cruiser per year? This would have to include fuel,food,and all the relevant fees to be legal. I do realize that I might eat more than others and that I might be moored up for longer periods than others, but I need a rough guide as to what it may cost me. If we say that I have a 59 ft boat with diesel heating, and there would be two adults on board. Looking forward to your replies. William.
