What are the expenses for traveling the world by sea? How much does it cost for a year aboard a boat? From asking around, it is my impression that the costs are relative to your approach: if you put effort into your living and do everything you can yourself and live frugally, traveling by sea is cheap, but if you want everything done for you and want conveniences, it is expensive. This dichotomy is the same as for traveling by land — traveling can be as cheap or as expensive as you make it.
“The laws of the sea state that you can anchor almost anywhere for free,” spoke the Captain as I sat in his house on a hill in central Maine. He had built his house himself, and it sat comfortably underfinished as we sat in the dinning area in front of a fire place that I am sure set many moods during the long, dark winter months.
I have been receiving a lot of contrary information about the cost of long term international cruising on a sailboat. Some say that it is cheap, other say that it is expensive. The Captain tells me that it is possible to sail full time around the world living on your boat for $8,000 a year, while other people have told me that a boat is a hole in the sea to chuck your money.
It depends on how you approach sailing was his point.
Traveling is as expensive as you make it.
If you want luxery and everything provided for you, then traveling anywhere is expensive, but if you do your own leg work, put time and effort into finding the cheapest of everything, and eating bitter, then world travel is laughably cheap.
I can travel through Europe on $10 a day. Whereas most people drop hundred dollar bills at each turn in this region. If you put effort and time into your living strategy, traveling is cheap; if you want everything done for you, luxery, and conveinence, traveling is expensive.
It is my impression that this is exactly the same scenario as sailing. If I do the leg work myself, if I do my own repairs on my boat, trade work for equipment, buy food in bulk and cook for myself, and put time into finding the cheapest anchorages and avoiding marinas and docks, traveling by sea can be very cheap. But if I want a boat that impresses the sailing community, pay other people to repair it, eat at restaurants and drink in bars, and stay at marinas and at docks, traveling the world by sea will be very expensive.
This is a difference between spending $2,500 a year and $25,000.
I have learned a standard operating procedure for world travel that enables me to travel cheap, but this is a standard operating procedure that requires me to work at living every single day. By working at living I mean doing things for myself. If I am willing to put time and effort into my living — if I trade work or websites for accommodation, camp, make my own food, ride a bicycle — then I am able to travel with very little money.
Paying money is for people who do not want to bother with their own living. Paying money is for people who want to sit back and have life done for them. Cruising the world has been confussed as being an act of the luxurious.
It is my impression that, like traveling, crusing the world by sea is an act reserved for both for the extreme rich and the extreme poor. Traveling the world by sea is both for people who want life done for them as well as those who want to handle, take care of, and control every nuance of their existence.
Traveling by sea will either make me more dependent on other people or more dependent on myself.
The more I rely on myself, the cheaper I am able to live.
It has become my impression that the bright side to living is that its enjoyment is proportional to the work you put into it.
The more you polish your life, the more it will shine.
I look forward to traveling cheaply by sea precisely because of the challenges — precisely because I will need to put my attention into living. I will need to learn, to discover, and work. I am excited at the prospect of ever chiseling my mind sharp simply from living poor.
I fear that I would be a very bored man if I had a million dollars.
And when we’re tired of that, my friend, oh, you will come with me; And we will seek the sunlit roads that lie beside the sea.
From sailing around in the Caribbean, my hesitation might come from two things: Bay fees (the cost of anchoring in the bay or tying up to the dock), and the usage of fresh water. Unless you’ve got a fresh water maker on board, you’re going to be living of life of paying to constantly refill your water reservoirs, water rationing, and far too many salt-water showers. How will water rationing combine with an infant and your wife (think washing dishes and washing Petra)? Well, I’m sure there are plenty of yachties out there who’ve taken their young families on trips that could help answer those questions. I’d certainly be hitting up those message forums.
Oh, for what it’s worth, I remember the boat paying something like US$10-15 to anchor in the bay, maybe $25 to tie to the dock. Of course, using the shower and bathrooms at some places costs extra, as does the fuel for your dingy.
This is exactly the type of information that I am looking for — real anecdotes from people who have sailed.
I will definitely keep these points in mind, especially the one about the potable water, as we move further into this sailing venture.
I am going to try to get on a sailboat and travel some long distances before buying a boat myself. I am just trying to get a feel for sailing right now, and taking it step by step.
Have you ever considered working as crew on a boat? Fort Lauderdale florida is a good place to line up work. Lots of captains putting together crew for voyages down to the panama canal as well as transatlantic voyages to the canaries and the med. I used to hang out in southern spain and met quite a few americans who had gotten a free trip to spain by working on boats out of lauderdale. Different types of jobs from a kitchen cook to scrubbing the deck. They’d hang out in the marina in F.L. and approach the captains until they found something suitable. It would give you some real experience and you might even make a buck or two.
I will try to do that soon. I did a stay down near Ft. Lauderdale back in ’99, but this was before I gave much heed to sailing. I may return soon and look for a boat to get some cruising experience on.
I have been wondering the same things about sailing. I have no experience sailing. I did serve 6 years in the Canadian navy. I would be concerned about bad weather. We got into bad weather off of Newfoundland 80 ft waves 100 mile winds. This sank an oil rig and all hands were lost. How would a small sail boat handle in this type of storm. I also would want lots of training in navigation in the middle of the ocean there are no land marks to go by and if your just off shore fog can blow in very quickly.I hope to keep reading on how you proceed on your sailing.
Thank you for your advice. Those 80 foot waves sound amazing. Could you see them from where you were on the boat or were you below deck?
I could see the waves from the bridge. The oil rig was the Ocean Ranger it was one of the largest oil rigs in the world at the time. There is a book wrote about what happen and a list of ships that were involved. I was serving on the HMCS Nipigon. You should be able to get the story on the internet.

United Nations troops are on patrol in the Ivorian commercial capital, Abidjan, as the country braces for parliamentary elections on Sunday. The vote is the first since presidential polls a year ago sparked months of violence after the incumbent, Laurent Gbagbo, refused to step down.
Mr Gbagbo is awaiting trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) on charges of crimes against humanity. His Ivorian Popular Front party has called for an election boycott. The former president and his supporters claim the electoral commission is loyal to the new governing party led by Mr Gbagbo’s rival, President Alassane Ouattara, and will falsify the results. They also accuses the army of intimidating supporters during the campaign.
Ivory Coast’s former ruling party has pulled out of the electoral commission, saying the new government refuses to include opponents in planning for coming parliamentary polls. Ivory Coast’s president says he hopes the former ruling party will take part in that vote.
Former President Laurent Gbagbo’s party says it is quitting the electoral commission because the government of President Alassane Ouattara is refusing to engage in a dialogue on security, the electoral commission, and preparations for legislative polls.

Plunger-fillers can be recognized by their thin, rodlike plunger shafts, made of either stainless steel or carbon steel with a glossy black hard rubber coating. If the shaft is thicker than 2mm or so, it is likely that the pen is a pump-filler or pneumatic-filler instead. Note that some eyedropper-fillers are equipped with ink shutoff valves that make them closely resemble plunger-fillers. Most of these pens are Japanese, and modeled on the British Onoto.
To fill a plunger-filler, unscrew the end knob and gently pull on it to extend the plunger shaft. Immerse the nib, then depress the plunger in one smooth, swift motion. Screw the knob back into place, and you are done.
If there is liquid in the barrel, forcibly pulling out the shaft (as is often done by those who mistakenly believe the pen fills on the upstroke) puts great stress upon the packing unit, which may lead to leakage along the shaft. A gentle touch on the upstroke will do much to prolong the interval between overhauls. Another precaution that will keep a plunger-filler working smoothly is the occasional lubrication of the plunger shaft with silicone grease (available at dive shops -- note that this must be 100% pure silicone, with no petroleum-based ingredients). If you have a plunger-filler that needs repair, make certain that the repairman is not using rubber plugs jammed inside the barrel. The only proper method is to open and repack the original packing unit. Plugs are a popular stopgap, but can do serious damage to a pen over time and are prone to early failure.

This lesson provides an overview of the respiratory system. In particular it focuses on the physical aspects of breathing, and the importance of gas exchange for respiration and life.
We need oxygen to live. When we breathe in, oxygen travels in the air through the trachea and bronchi, into the bronchioles and finally reaches numerous sac-like structures called alveoli. The thin surfaces of the alveoli are in contact with blood vessels calledcapillaries. At the alveoli, oxygen enters the blood to be carried to cells in the body. Waste carbon dioxide in the blood is excretedat the alveoli and expelled in the air we breathe out.
What is the Irish connection with breathing?
Robert Boyle (1627 – 1691), the Irish chemist showed that a change in the volume of a fixed mass of gas causes a change in pressure. If the gas volume increases the pressure decreases and vice versa.
When the air in the lungs expands, its pressure decreases to less than atmospheric pressure. But its pressure rises above atmospheric pressure when it is compressed.
Air moves from higher to lower pressure until the air pressures are equal. Therefore by creating a pressure difference, air can be moved into and out of the lungs.

The Colombian government is preparing to lift its economic growth target for the year, a reflection of a strong recovery that could result in a 4.5% increase in gross domestic product this year.
Hernando Gomez, the head of the National Planning Department, said Thursday that the economy could expand 4.5% this year, a figure substantially higher than then current official 3% target.
A new official estimate will likely be announced once the second-quarter economic results are published in September, Gomez said.
The new estimates will likely bring the government’s official forecasts in line with those of the central bank, which expects the economy to expand between 3.5% and 5.5% in 2010.
The higher growth estimates point to a faster economic recovery than the government’s initial 2.5% forecast at the beginning of the year. Finance Minister Juan Carlos Echeverry said Wednesday that Colombia could grow 5% this year.
Strong growth in consumer demand, as well as solid figures in manufacturing and retail sales, is behind the improved economic outlook. In the first half of the year, retail sales rose 9.8% from a year earlier, while industrial output climbed 5.8%.
Colombia’s faster economic growth this year, after climbing a tepid 0.8% in 2009, hasn’t created inflationary pressures yet. The consumer price index decreased 0.04% in July as food prices dropped 0.5% from July 2009. Food prices account for 28% of the CPI.
