Plus other great videos and CDs Your Cruising Budget Personified By Dave and Jaja Martin Driver under sail on Eyja Fjord, Iceland, May 1999. A Cruising Budget is nothing but a ruthless blackmailer to whom I will refer as Mr. Cruise. Mr. Cruise will squeeze you ruthlessly until he extracts the fattest amount that you are able you choke up each month from your savings. If you try to outwit Mr. Cruise he will sabotage the boat, steal your wallet, influence the stock market, and in some cases, he will ingeniously involve you with helping to propagate the human species.
Life is a well-balanced scale.
The next thing that happens is your car breaks down and you have to give all the cash to the car repair guy. Or, say you decide to sail your boat through a calm spell mid-ocean to save money on diesel fuel. We've been there. A sad, but true story. Even when cruising, one has to eat.
