Savvy Sailing Girl’s Cruising Expenses Spreadsheet
Here’s a handy spreadsheet to help you track your cruising and travel expenses. Although it’s tuned for adventures afloat, you could easily adapt it for “land cruising” (recreational vehicles, road trips, extended travel). Download the file below and make sure you read the notes page for disclaimers and information before diving in!
Cruising Cards – SSG Examples
One of the best ways to build up your network and let people know you’re interested in crewing is to have cruising cards. They’ll be useful on land as well as on sea to give to folks you meet personally as an alternative to handing them a business card. Here are a few examples to give you some ideas:
Include a picture of yourself as that’s the best way for people to remember you.
Idea: Have someone take a photo of you holding a white tablet. You can edit the photo later and add any text or images you want!
Try using a photo of yourself in a sailing/cruising setting. If you don’t have one, then add some graphics with a nautical theme.
If you don’t want to use your photo on a card, then add some nautical graphics to add interest and intent.
