Boat Plans Catamaran

A riff on complexity/complication, something interesting about violent crime in the US of A compared to other places, and just in case you ever wondered what the homicide rate was like in Americas Paradise the USVI.

So, some cruising/budget advice from the current SSCA Bulletin on Belize...

"Lots of people say Belize is expensive, but we didnt find that to be true. Some things are more expensive than other places, such as the Rio Dulce, but many things are less expensive than other places."

Pretty much describes EVERYWHERE in the WHOLE FRELLING WORLD doesnt it?

More importantly it really does not give any useful information...

So here are a few helpful hints for folks giving us the lowdown on cruising areas and suchlike.

• Dont assume your reader shares your definition of expensive and not expensive or, for that matter, even has a clue what you think is expensive/not expensive unless you tell them. For instance, just the other day, I heard two people talking about bikes, One saying that you could find an OK inexpensive bike for around $2500 and the other one saying that hed really like to get a certain "expensive" bike for $900.
• If youre going to give an example (the Rio Dulce and Belize spring to mind) what is cheaper in the Rio Dulce than in Belize and what is cheaper in Belize? 
• One of the best ways to save money cruising is knowing before you get somewhere what stuff costs, whats available/not available, and what they need to stock up on. Cruisers thrive on input and the more input on what stuff costs is very often the difference between a good cruising experience and a bad one.

Back before we left France and provisioning I assumed, since all of the canned tomatoes for sale in France seemed to come from Spain, that theyd be cheaper in Spain... Guess what? When we arrived in Spain canned tomatoes were about three times the cost and being on a budget that was something of a painful/expensive discovery.

Speaking of painful/expensive discoveries that happen all too often is where you arrive somewhere all stocked up on something as mundane as oil filters only to find that the local island ferreteria has them for half the price you just paid having them shipped from the states where stuff is supposed to be cheap...

Input folks, input!
