| One of the post popular seminars we present when we visit occasional boatshows is called “Cost control while you cruise.” During it we discuss trying to make your boat unstoppable so that you can sail onward without doing repairs until you reach a place where it is easy and affordable to get parts. Pago Pago in American Samoa, Apia in Western Samoa, New Zealand, these are your best choices. Any part of French Polynesia can be a budget breaker. Steve and Linda on their Bounty 40 Linda definitely reinforced this comment by giving us an exact breakdown of the costs they incurred by having a fuel pump flown in from San Diego to Nuka Hiva.
