Since we are officially "cruising" again, I thought I would offer up our monthly expenses for anyone who wants to know what it costs for a family of four to travel via sailboat. Actually, we have been mostly motorboat since leaving Zihuatanejo, and you can tell by our fuel costs. But, we also traveled a lot of ground - a lot. Splashing from the boat yard in Guaymas, Mexico on February 1 all the way to Chiapas by March 1st.
I broke out the trip to Oaxaca, which includes transportation, lodging, food and entertainment for four people. I listed the marina separately, but we pulled in so that we could travel inland. Boat parts include a new radar reflector, compass cables and a new fan blade - most bought for coconuts from other cruisers.
