Sail Loot Podcast 061: Asante Sailing Costs August 2017

By on June 26, 2018

August of 2017 on S/V Asante started with a two-day sail from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Hilton Head, SC.

Included in the preparations to sail North were provisions, alternator rebuild costs, diesel fuel, and travel and transportation expenses. August of 2017 was also the first month that I had to pay for dockage at Shelter Cove Marina.

August was still my cheapest month of cruising costs – okay, let’s call them sailing costs, errrrr, boating costs? –  since purchasing S/V Asante. 

I also talk a little more about batteries and my battery bank. There were a few corrections that I needed to make from Episode 60.
