How Did We Manage This For LESS Than £500pm? (in 2022?!)

[@johnfoster3286]

IF you run out of winter work consider film work, maybe your own company and get a start up or arts council grant or whatever. Only a suggestion. Your editing and camera work is better than a lot that I have seen. Take care till the next vid and a big hug for ???????????......hank.

[@jackchamberlain5993]

I would be interested in knowing your dingy costs while anchoring out in those free and beautiful locations. More than most sailing bloggers,you appear to live a realistic life as a liveaboard and I always watch you videos (I am one of the throng of surreptitious viewers who can't commit to subscribing).

[@CadohaAdventures]

Dingy costs? Well our petrol engine died so we used the electric outboard most of the year. If you mean berthing costs I think we paid to berth it in St Mawes once (town side) which was about £5! It’s free if you’re less then 20mins though, and we also paid to dock it up the river Tamar which we paid for by buying cakes and coffee in the yard shop, which we included in our ‘goodies budget’. Other than that we tied it up for free or left it on a beach 😬

[@Garryck-1]

Excellent summary of your cruising costs! Thank you!

[@goodq]

Yesss please. Voting for more info on budgets ❤

[@marcvanderlinden5862]

Great info video 😉

Glad you enjoyed it. 👌🏼

[@mikewilliams4499]

Fascinating, especially for people who are contemplating life on a boat. I can see massive revenue earning potential. Hank in commercials. Hank: the movie. Hank’s a celebrity get me out of here. Good Morning Hank. Hank: the great British bark off...as a veteran agent, my fees are particularly attractive (for me). If I don’t get a chance again...Happy festive season to you Carly, Dom, Hank and your many followers👍😘

[@CadohaAdventures]

We're really not capitalising on young Hank enough are we? 🤣🐕

Absolutely love this comment!

There is no absolutely no reason to not have a reasonable amount of beer and wine, you are in fact human

[@pete9501]

On a cold wintery December night, with the snow gently falling outside a YT video caught my eye. It's Cadoha and once again they take me away to warm waters and the beautiful scenery of the West country making me believe I am right there alongside enjoying the adventure. I think of our own plans for next year, making the effort to install more solar for electric cooking all the more worthwhile despite the cold outside and promise to anchor more. The Remoska tested this summer and now earning its keep at home will be pressed into use again, not only for main courses but the most superb cakes too. As you have rightly shown, good food on board is a delight. Happy Christmas Carly, Dom and Hank, looking forward to a great 2023 season 🙂

[@uponthepegs]

As ever, interesting content and reflection. You do understand value versus cost. Thank you for bringing your journey to us in 2022. Seasons greetings to you both (and Hank!) 🎄

[@CadohaAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it, Phil. Hope you have a great Christmas 🎄☺️

[@Garryck-1]

Dom, I suggest you look into brewing your own beer aboard. This makes it incredibly cheap. There are plenty of liveaboard sailors who do so (Annie Hill being just one example).

[@peterhaymaker7562]

I so look forard to your videos. Thanks very much again. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. From a very cold and snowy Kent. P.

It’s pretty chilly where we are right now, so we can certainly sympathise. Hope you have a good Christmas too 🙏🏼☺️

I’d love to see more videos about this type of thing although I love watching regardless! And always love seeing Hank!

[@peterstocker6863]

I really enjoyed this video, and as a novice sailor trying to get a realistic figure of the casts involved ,it was very helpful , I would enjoy more videos on this subject ,thankyou , Pete

[@toomanycastles4923]

Great discussion, I'd be interested in hearing your total breakdown costs. Also, probably a bit more personal, but the cash in the bank when you made the leap to the boat. We are currently plotting the same life and the finance side is the main worry. Thanks cadoha I've loved the videos to date.

[@phillipcarey6412]

As always, a very informative video. My wife and I are in the planning stages of abandoning a bricks and mortar life and would be very interested in a full costs breakdown. Look forward to all your future content. Cheers guys.

[@johnmcginley6579]

Also would love to see that type of video for the same reason.

Love this channel! Turn on the ADDS!! I want more of this trio! Best wishes & happy holidays

[@DrDaleHubbardPhD]

Share more about expenses. When i sailed my live a Board, it was always something. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences. Dale

[@terrenceodgers5866]

Some of the better sailing videos are made by unpretentious folk like you, and whose outlook on life in this world is as far removed from the ostentatious, as pretentiousness is embraced by those less down to Earth folk. A BIG well done to you two - and Hank! We mustn't forget that lovely dog.

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Interesting breakdown of costs there. I guess the winter mooring cost is a necessity if you are working for the rigger at that location but otherwise that cost could be greatly reduced by wintering somewhere else. As you say for the quality of life, scenery and general feel good factor the costs are pretty reasonable. After all you could be working in a city, renting a small apartment and not really enjoying life at all. Stay safe guys. Andy UK

[@barrywildridge216]

Great info for newbie’s

[@CadohaAdventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stetomlinson3146]

My view would be to spend what YOU want to. We full time in our motorhome and we can, and have, scrimped our budget. But life is for living and enjoying! Personally I think 600 quid on ice cream is pretty good going! 😉😆

[@CadohaAdventures]

Well said!

[@pootsman6722]

Nice breakdown, great to see how being a little frugal can extend your time on the boat and in the beautiful places you visit. I'd be interested in a full breakdown just because it'd be good to know what I'd need coming in to do something similar myself (which I'd like to in a few years). Work a bit but then live on the ocean for the rest of the year! Bliss.

[@CadohaAdventures]

I think we may very well just make a total expense video covering everything over two/ three seasons, to then help create more realistic average to just life, living on a boat with a healthy mix of actually getting out there and exploring too.

[@johnfoster3286]

For what it is worth I rented out my bungslow on a well known internet site this summer and lived on the boat, the only problem being the change over cleaning and the site likes the owner to be around in case of problems. I got called out at midnight cos one of em had managed to trip the lecy fuses trying to connect his laptop to something, and the fuse box is in the locked garage where I keep my personal bits.

[@AlexM-ru6ew]

Thank you very much for your amazing content!

Our pleasure ☺️⛵️

[@bdphourde]

That degree of self-reliance is pretty rewarding! You showed us some really nice clips! Will you be able to manage a circumnavigation of Ireland?

[@CadohaAdventures]

We're have some serious 'Celtic' adventures planned for our 'Project 365' mission, how much of Ireland we can do will depend on the situation with Hank at the time, but we hope to tackle a decent amount of the island of Ireland ☺️🙏🏼

[@chuckymcchuckface8768]

​@@CadohaAdventures oh you've got to come to Ireland! I'm live on the edge of Strangford lough. Look it up and I bet you'll pull up the anchor and scoot full steam up round lands end and up the Irish sea! If you Carly and Hank make it to Portaferry in particular I'll have a pint of Guinness waiting for both of you and doggy treats for Hank. And I can speak to the harbour master at Ballycastle and Portaferry to see about getting you in harbour for free...

[@johnfoster3286]

Other than annual mooring fees my main expense is alcohol in pubs withing walking distance of the shore but then I am a solo sailor and sometimes need company. My son says I should set light to the local supermarket, that way I will have plenty of people to speak to, a roaring fire on these cold nights and alternative accomodation for the night. Ha Ha

[@CadohaAdventures]

Ha ha, your son sounds like quite the lateral thinker 🤣🍷

[@BlackheartCharlie]

We seem to share a common philosophy about cruising: "Stay out of restaurants and stay out of marina's". My girlfriend and I were able to save up and take off for a year to cruise the US East Coast - a trip of over 4000 nautical miles. We spent a bit more than you folks, but averaged about $1,100 USD / month, living well all the while. Best regards from Key West, Capt. Blackheart Charlie

[@fredjones7307]

Where you can anchor for free and costs of mooring, staying in mariners etc. I would find it informative and interesting if you always stated the costs every time you did any of these..

[@Sailing_Antrice]

Have you looked into Winter berthing at Bembridge harbour on the Isle of Wight. It’s a pretty good deal and a lovely location with boatyards nearby where you might find paid work. I keep my boat there and the winter deal is the best I have found anywhere.

[@JayPerrypersonal]

Great video guys, wow we cruise on €2000 to €3000 per month! -grades and refi this year so far €27000 and a lot left to do yet! However that dies include new standing rigging and new sails for a 16m ketch

[@tomriley5790]

Just thought or worth exploring - Can you internet shop to a Marina? Or failing that find someone (pub?) near to your anchorage who's willing to allow you to use their address to deliver to and stand outside when it's due. To be fair though £789 for 7 months is pretty good for food! Your videos are impressive as always!

[@CadohaAdventures]

Yes we get things delivered to places all the time. Sometimes to a harbourmaster, sometimes to a post office, sometimes to a local who watches the channel, sometimes to the nearest pub 😬😇🍷

[@BrianM0OAB]

I've always wondered but it's rude to ask, thanks for the breakdown on expenditure, for 2400 is very good going, it would just about get you 2 weeks in a Cornish cottage self catering for that kind of money, but you lived in paradise for a year is excellent.

[@andymarshall2201]

Happy New guys, I hope you had a great Christmas. As live-aboards, is your annual insurance very high? Take care. Andy

[@dennisnunn2244]

hi Great vids very entertainingI would be interested in the safe mooring on anchor. Maybe you could give away your secrets on how you find suitable mooring's and perhaps list your best 20.

[@CadohaAdventures]

Yeah we could make a video showing you our process. A lot of the time we’re just looking at charts and then comparing places to expected wind and swell for that night on apps like predict wind.

[@dennisnunn2244]

@@CadohaAdventures Ok clear thanks look forward to the vid on this subject

[@K_R_W]

As we approach the Holiday Season I am wondering if you are ashore for the winter?? Really like your videos BTW.

[@BohemianBeatster]

Informative video. Do you have solar panels you put up your mask when the main sail is down?

[@SailingAquamarine]

My friends have just crossed the Atlantic on a budget in a 30yr old boat, via Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, canaries and Cape Verde over a period of 6 Months. They reckoned about the same budget, often dipping below £450 per month. They cheated a bit and did not include the diesel they set off with (although the further south you go, the less you need... Its sunnier with more reliable wind) I wish I was buddying with them, but my refurb over-ran 🙁 hopefully next year! It's not tooooo difficult if, like you say, you are self reliant and not constantly in marinas. The thing is, the UK is an expensive place to live, even marinas are half the price once you get further south :(

[@CadohaAdventures]

Yes the costs really start to stack up quickly when you’re going into marinas, mostly using paid moorings and eating locally most days.

[@francismontocchio9910]

I would really like to see hand hear about all your costs. I have followed your adventures form the start and am saving for my own boat. My closest Harbour/Marina is in Croatia where the berthing fees are iniquitously expensive - about 6200 euros a year for a 34-foot sailing boat - 1500 of which is the winter place on the hard.

[@johnfoster3286]

My only question is clothes washing? a mini washing machine somewhere on board or hand washing or laudrette when in a marina? An excellent vid AGAIN, I cannot say how much I look forward to watching!!!!! BRILLIANT.

[@CadohaAdventures]

We have a washing machine with a spin dryer on board now. It uses very little electric, is lightweight and easy to stow away.

[@pim2315]

@@CadohaAdventures can you put a link to what kind of washing machine you have. Do you need a generator to operate it? Doing laundry in marinas in UK is an expensive exercise

[@scottpiggott7600]

Good stuff! How about health and boat insurance? Thanks

[@CadohaAdventures]

Boat insurance, fully comprehensive, is about £280 per year and we don’t have health insurance, just the national health service.

I would love to know a estimate yearly cost of your sailing adventures cheers from canada ;-)

[@geniexmay562]

Yikes!! £80/month for the diesel heater 😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@Sailingdancingbear]

Can I ask where you winter the boat and how it only costs £400 pounds ?

[@CadohaAdventures]

We've wintered in a few places but the £400 a month (roughly, may be a bit more now) was on the Itchen river.
