Hi David: We've been following the exploits of Swan Song for a while now. We actually looked at a 58 Rough water but it was really rough. We thought to write you for guidance about our adventure into gunkholing. We are scheduled to take possession of our 48' De Fever trawler next month. This is the start of our eventual cruising and gunkholing. We were wondering about the costs, including your annual costs of living and boat maintenance? About how you live, do you continue to work on board, or travel to and from Swan Song? Did you start our part time and move eventually into full time gunkholing? How did you do it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jim and Diane Money Yoga is Consciously Transforming People's Relationship with Money. _Money Yoga Seminar Series In a message dated 5/9/2009 12:00:25 A.M.
