Cents and more
Ithis page i will update the table of expenditure necessary for the realization of my dream.
“Amazzonia Sempre…” is an Atlantic Ocean singlehanded crossing from Blackpool (uk) to Belem (Brazil) for a total of 4100nm of non-stop on “Strider” a sailboat model Invicta 26 built in 1968.
Paid the boat, my budget limit is now set at 8000 euros.
Baloo
My budget is very small and by the initial calculations, which surely are underestimated, all my little income until April 2012 are virtually already spent.

I think you hit a bulelsye there fellas!
Non trovo possibile che un sogno non si possa realizzare per motivi di denaro. Se ci si deve rinunciare per motivi di denaro allora è il segnale che la strada o gli strumenti per raggiungerlo non sono quelli giusti…
