Hi, new to the forum.* Wife and I have been lifelong boaters. We are in the beginning stages of planning some extended cruising in a few years (possible early retirement if the planets align properly).* This would entail living on the boat full-time, probably doing the great loop, in addition to maybe spending some time poking around the Caribbean if things go well.
Obviously doing this requires $$, and we are trying to get a better grasp of the issue.
I am sure there is a WIDE range of budgets out there, so I wanted to get some feedback on what you might spend in a typical year for cruising.
So, my question is NOT INCLUDING BOAT PAYMENT AND INSURANCE, what do you estimate you spend (or would spend) cruising for a whole year?
