Thanks for the info. It has been somewhat difficult to find information about current cruising costs. I spent $1000 a month on boat stuff 10 years ago during my circumnavigation – (and about $2000 a month total, two adults and 2 young children)

I am about to leave on a 2nd try and I know things will be much more expensive, especially since the US dollar is not nearly as strong,

I estimate that we will need at least $2500 a month not including health insurance. I am worried that it might be more.

wow, that is interesting.

boat maintenance you did not explain enough. $12,111 for what? that is enough to buy a sailboat.

this is amazing accounting work you did, congratulations! And thanks for the sharing, this should be interesting and useful for sailors and dreamers. I will half my costs by halfing the size of my around the world sail boat and going solo and even more by just heading out to sea to loop the world.

thanks

as alcohol and dairy products are bad for you, you can save on both.
