Frugal sailing

[AntarcticPilot]

SNAP!
Thing is to have simple tastes. Ienjoy cooking,eat on board as a matter of course,don't need a car, cycle or walk to shops,buy stuff that's on offer.or as Idid on arrival in Largs --picked geens(wild cherries) and brambles so I could bake 3.142! I also bake my own bread if I can't get fresh although I think that's probably an extravagance!

Don't wear designer oilies or buy flash gear,either.

A POX ON ALL YOUR HOUSES !! I always have custard!

But how can you reconcile suitable quantities of proper custard (ie Bird's powder and full cream milk - none of this poncy creme anglais stuff!) with living on the basics. As a yoof, I used to regard a pint a day with mothers apple pie as the minimum required for sustenance.

I have nothing but admiration for those on small means who get by and are cheerful about it. But I have no romantic ideas that that is for me - I'm sure I'm happier with spare cash in my pocket.

We've never had spare cash in pocket and I intend to retire on a pension of £14k in the next couple of years. I just hope that's enough SWMBO and I for long term cruising! After all, the only think you can't buy is time.
