Yes... Sailing takes MONEY....
Hi all. Capt'n John here again. Yes, this blog has that name for a reason. Sailing and how to afford it. Well - You know about Stone Age and a bit on where she has sailed from... Now - Hoe does it all get paid for??? By making money online. Every sailboat has expenses. A big hole in the water you just throw money into is one of the jokes of the day. Yet, it's no joke really. It is a floating chamber with various systems on it that are ALL subject to the second law of thermodynamics... Everything deteriorates. And so must be maintained. Add salt water - the most corrosive substance on the planet - and things just get worse. Put a 110v electrical system and a generator on board and down the hole with some more. Then add a 12V system and a large battery system. Bound for failure. And faster than anything I've ever seen. Even faster in the tropics. Keeping up with all this ...
