So it sounds like it costs around $4k to rent the boat and pilot, correct? Wow, that's steep!
Plus I took my wife and daughter to crew for me. Then my daughter got married and I felt guilty and had to bring him. Also, one should get there several days either side of your tide in case you go early or late--2 weeks lodging. 4 flights in the economy class (where the floor starts looking like a great place to be after 10 hours of flying). Rental car (max out the insurance--those narrow roads are insane!) for 2 weeks. Grand total of around 15-20k. Don't worry I've not started a Go fund me. I am selling one of my kidneys on the black market however.
As an aside, WR, I agree with PWB, 400 IM is a great place to start...much cheaper than my mid-life crisis and any standard mid-life crisis (corvette, girlfriend, plastic surgery, divorce).
