On the boat. May 9 9:30am
Feeling a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. The biggest is that I'm no longer homeless. Sure it's a small boat, but Zoe has what I need and projects to keep me busy until the future.
It just feels good to sit and not have anything that has to be done. She's in the water. The anchor is holding, even with all the rocking and rolling of this anchorage. Though I gotta figure out how to stop from dancing. The sails are holding up, though a little sail tape would be nice.
So by June 20 all the bills will be paid for the refit, the I can start saving for upgrades. Like new sails and rigging- both running and standing. I could easily drop another $2000 in a heartbeat. $350/ headsail, $600 mainsail , $.60/ft for lines and an easy 400 ft is needed so $240, $.60/ft +hardware for standing not to mention crimping tools.
Though I doubt I'll have that much extra.
Food will be hard to determine. Fresh vegetables could run $20/week, juice/water would be $5/week. Canned food is going to be in the $4/day range. So $225 and not even into staples or eating out. Add another $100 for miscellaneous foods, for $325
So $427?
Estimates were good.
