The BBQ at the elm is very good, and the band is excellent. Seems like we spent about 25 per person for 3 types of BBQ. You can spend less if you just get one meat. We typically eat 3 or 4 dinners onboard, all breakfast and lunch on board and dine out for the remaining dinners. For a crew of 8 we provision and might spend 900 for food, beer and liquor. We don't scrimp on the dining out or At the pool bar at scrub island for example. Total cost per person including provisions, bar bills, dining out, moorings, and 1 dock fees runs about 240 to 400 per person depending on the crew dynamics. The higher price crews might have drinks, a couple bottles of wine with dinner, appetizers and deserts, we weren't trying to save Money. Not sure if it is in the budget but you might cover some of the food cost for the kids and take that source of worry out of the equation.

FYI, the dock fee at Leverick bay is about the same as a mooring ball. Call nick for a Ttol discount. We enjoy Michael Beans at leverick. Also nick can hook you up with a rental car/truck for a trip to the baths and hog heaven for lunch. Have fun.
