Monthly Cruising Budget: June | Month 12 – Summer Haul Out & Off-season Vanlife

Where as April and May were normal-ish, June was an absolutely wild ride: It completed our first full year living aboard the boat; we bought a van and named him Chip; we hauled the boat out of the water for hurricane season and drove north to help Lauren's parents move out of her childhood home, and attended our first electronic music festival.  

Monthly Cruising Budget: March | Month 9 – Cruising the Panhandle
