$15,159. my boating COSTS for December

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had some boating chores to handle...  Stuff that needs to be finished before I depart south to the Keys.  I need New Sails, a bottom paint job, and new house batteries.  Oh, and yesterday I took my two outboard motors to a guy for having them serviced.  I figured some non-boater types might be interested in what all this stuff costs.  Are you curious?
