The cost of living aboard . . .

[billyb]

We have just analysed our expenditure for our first full year afloat - during that time we travelled just under 1,000 miles and paid for several 'one-off' maintenance jobs on the boat. Nevertheless, the results were surprising and we would welcome comments from others with more experience.

Well it was our first full year afloat and we soon found out what we really needed!

Sadly, nobody wanted to buy all my redundant business suits, shoes, shirts and ties

Yes most things have gone up but experience and lower expectations have enabled us to save a lot on food, day to day expenses, eating out and luxuries. We have also learned to visit chandleries less frequently!
