Re: Shoestring Sailors (Cruising on $500 per month - part II)

Aldi stores have started to pop up here over the past few years. My initial impression was that their quality was marginally lower, in proportion with the amount saved. I plan to try them again soon...

Re: Shoestring Sailors (Cruising on $500 per month - part II)

Currently living legally on the hook here on the Brisbane River, a few kms from the CBD. For $70 a week I can rent a pole mooring IN the CBD.

It's not all black here, just in Sydney. :-)

I've had that stuff they sell at Starbucks. Pretty sure it isn't coffee. :rolleyes:

Weird is good. I get really annoyed if there's something weird going on and nobody tells me about it.

Re: Shoestring Sailors (Cruising on $500 per month - part II)

Yeah, that's the other issue - my boom doesn't extend past the pilothouse. I'd have to remove the whole roof to do it that way.

Four grand? Yikes. Still with the tides over that way you could have...

Re: Shoestring Sailors (Cruising on $500 per month - part II)

Re: Shoestring Sailors (Cruising on $500 per month - part II)

Just solved my last major expense. As a 45-year smoker with a 60-a-day habit it looked as if cruising was going to depend on where I could buy cigarettes cheapest. In Australia it was costing me...
