There are yachts and yachts. Some are everything you imagine. But many are folks squishing a nickel to make it work. For them, and me, it’s a low cost way to live. Low energy impact, small foot print. Low end folks exist, and travel, for $1,000/month. That’s pretty lean for we two.
Try reading “Voyaging in a Small Income” to get some sense of the matter.
Here’s a joke to explain how cheap we are.
A traveling salesman walks into a shoreside bar at about 3:00 in the afternoon and asks for a drink, a Manhattan. The bar tender sets him right up and says that’ll be 50¢. FIFTY CENTS you say? That’s crazy cheap. The bar keep replies, “Yeah, well I won a mega lotto some years ago so I don’t need the money. I just want to make folks happy so I run at a loss.” The salesman says. “OK, but I see a bunch of guys sitting at a table over there with no drinks, what’s up with that?”
“Oh, that’s the local cruisers, they are waiting for Happy Hour.”
