October 2025: Budget report

 Budget overview: 

We spent 3045 euros this October. It was a longer month, but most of all, we had 2 bigger-than-usual expenses: the change of UV strips for the Genoa and Jib as well as the Venice trip. 
Also arriving Croatia came with a price tag, additional sojourn taxes and sailing permit (for one year) additional costs. 

October spending details: 

We spent 900 euros on the maintenance of the genoa and jib. But it's money well spent given the strong winds we're currently facing in winter in the Adriatic sea. 
Then Nico's parents joined us in Venice. We did spend 3 days browsing the whole area. 
and finally we had to pay around 120 euros just for sailing Croatia. 

Since we overspent, we only have 2700 euros left to spend the last 4 months remaining instead of the 3000 euros planned. 
Hopefully going southern Europe will mean cheaper pricing in the long run. 

Here is the detail October spending: 

October vs Budget: 

We overspent a bit those last couple of months. 
We have 10 000 euros left to spend for the last 4 months. 
The 4th month, we'll probablyl spend the money on refurbishing the boat before selling it. 

We spent 90% of our budget. 
Totally overspent on food! So not well planned there, we are 778 euros off budget. 

Harbour budget is also ill-planned, I didn't plan so many port stays but planned instead to go to hotels and travel inland, which we didnt do that much. So we're more than 3000 euros positive in
