I don't think you need $100,000 to enjoy long-term sailing. You just have to sacrifice a few luxuries...
Okay, okay, so I wasn't organized enough to keep track of expenses. But I do have this to say: sailing is cheap, if you do it with the right attitude, in the right places. Sailing in the third world is a great way to make a small amount of money go a looong way. Basically, once your boat is bought, your only expenses are food and occasional fuel. Well, okay, and rum, but that's cheap too. I figure if you are frugal and like to fish, you could get by on less than $20/week, assuming you have no debilitating problems.
Here are some of our preparation costs.
