Average cruising expenses in SE Asia 2014-2021 © Noonsite.com

Two very useful posts this month, by long-term liveaboards, that will help those planning to start long-distance cruising: Sue and John Hacking of SV Ocelot (48ft catamaran) have posted their average cruising expenses in SE Asia 2014-2021 with an easy to view pie chart.

Jon comments, "Sue has worked a long time on this and we thought others, especially those thinking of going cruising, would be interested in what cruising really costs. We feel we live pretty well, so it's certainly possible to cruise with less (or more) if that suits you."

SV Ocelot also have free KAP files and charts for remote areas on their website.

Behan Gifford of SV Totem has posted on a topic that's of great concern to many when transferring to life on board; radical downsizing to live on a boat (and how to do it). Behan reminds us of great words of wisdom she shares in her coaching community; Leaving is manageable; not leaving isn't - and - The less I have, the lighter I feel, the happier I am.
