200 gallons of diesel times $4.60 a gallon... you do the math!

Many years ago, mariners used the power of the wind to move their vessels. Just stay out of the horse latitudes.

The plan is to sail most of this trip, but many years ago they also sat in one spot for months at a time adrift waiting for a blow

Found a delivery service that will bring it to the boat, for $4.20 a gallon, was 4.00 last week he said



We are going to the bahamas, we'll prolly put about 300 to 400 miles on this trip, I'm planning this trip around wind so I do plan to sail most of this trip, no time constraints so I think we can get it done and maybe use 25 to 40 gallons of diesel (i have to use diesel to run the watermaker)



We don't really have a plan as to where we are going, prolly do about a 24 hour sail strait to Great Sale Cay (we spent a week there last trip) which is uninhabited, then into the abacos, maybe spend 4 or 5 days at Allans-Pensacola (uninhabited) and a few days at Green Turtle, possible Treasure Cay and then we are planning on spending several days at Guana Cay doing some diving on their reefs.
