Some advice for bankers, a program well worth supporting, and is Libya about to become a new cruising destination?
So the results are in on the cruising budget poll...
Kind of interesting, is it not?
Now, I'll use the Federal poverty threshold numbers for Hawaii circa 2009 (since "So It Goes"" home port is Hilo Hawaii) and I happen to have those numbers on my desktop.
As you can see, the yearly income level for a couple is $16,750 a year (or $1517.50 a month) clearly puts all of our poll budget niches below the official poverty level.
The really funny thing is that most of the people who have written to Boat Bits central on the subject seemed to think that cruising at the $1250 to $1500 budget niche would be more than comfortable and very close to something of a luxury...
So, apparently "less is more" works if you're cruising!
Listening to Matchbox Twenty
So it goes...
