2203.0. "Holiday II budget for 95" by TINCUP::CLAFLIN () Fri Apr 07 1995 19:01

I know I have seen similar budgets, but I did not find them on a search.
Please feel free to move to a more appropriate note.

I have missed my December budget by probably a about 800. I will have to check
when I get home tonight. Still this is what I think I am looking at for this
year. I plan on a two week cruise into Casco Bay.  Hopefully the boat will see
another 6-10 days of sailing in addition.  About 2/3 of the cost is pretty much
fixed expense.  Winter storeage and insurance being the kickers.  Maybe in a
couple of years I will move her to the Cape and hit my cousin up for free
storeage.  With the liabilities today, coastal cruising in the US pretty much
demands it.

This does not include cost of food for the cruise, or the occasional hotel room.
Actually, this may work out to a fairly inexpensive vaction, and still defray
part of the cost of the boat.

Once she is in the water, I plan on staying on her when I am in Boston.  Quick,
I need more contracts than the one I have at TAY, to support one week a month in
Boston!
