March 2026: FINAL budget report, we "met" the budget

   Budget overview:

We left Narbonne Plage on 1st April, one month after buying and renovating the boat. 
And we finally returned back to France, at Leucate Port, our final destination on 16 March 2026. 
So I'm ending our expenses at this day. 
However, spendings are still ongoing, as you need to pay for the harbor yearly, and most of all, we are putting Vogue for sale. Which means we need to do some little repairs on it, which has a cost. 

But if we leave it on 16 March,  

We spent a total of 1596 euros, for 2 weeks. 

March spending details:

The reason we spent so much is because it was our last leg of the trip. We had a friend onboard, so we went out and about, for our last spending spree. But most of all, we started to order plenty of spare parts ahead of our return to the harbor, for the final repair before the final on sale listing of Vogue. 

March vs the overal Budget:
 

So the questions we've been all awaiting, how much did we spend, out of the 106 000 euros we planned for?

We spent it all! The actual spending until arrival was 106 193 euros. 
So we can say we overspent. 
However, along the way, we managed to increase our budget to 106 387 euros thanks to some stuff we sold here and there, some money we received for Chinese New year, and some referral commissions on the Insta360 sales!

So depending on how we read this, we overspent by 193 euros, or we underspent by 194 euros.

But the bottom line is that the spendings are still continuing after we arrived. 

We ordered further more spare parts, we paid for the harbor, more food etc... 
By end of March we're already at 1347 euros of spending on top since we arrived our final destination. 

April 1st, spendings will be more stable, as we should leave the boat soon, however the monthly harbor fees will start hitting, and the insurance will go on until we sell the boat!
