Living Aboard Podcast – The Costs of Living Aboard (Episode 5)
This is the final podcast of the original 5 part series. I’d like to take some time to chat about liveaboard and boating costs. When I first started along my journey aboard, I had thought of only the primary 4 or 5 costs – boat payment, interest, insurance and the marina rental. Wow was that naive.
Episode 5 is a review of the ‘free!’ liveaboard spreadsheet (free on www.livingaboard.net), explaining different costs among a few different scenarios. It is just for discussion purposes, but at least the categories of life aboard are covered.
SO… hope this doesn’t scare you away from the lifestyle. Just hoping everyone goes in with their eyes open. It is the key to success.
Great site. Julie is blind and would like to read your book in preperation for our move on to a 39′ Pearson39. Do you have a audio version of your book and what communication system/other items can you think of for a boat that would help her. She is an experienced sailor as well as I and the boat will be at peir in New London CT.
