Jeff:
Can't imagine you haven't thought about other options: throttle way back
for better fuel economy, carry some jerry cans on deck (or better yet towed
in your dink), put a fuel cache on an intermediate beach somewhere, etc.
When we lived in Southeast Alaska years ago Union Oil (and Chevron) used to
package gasoline (and the ever-present Blazo) in units of 2 five gallon
cans, packed in wooden crates. They were both convenient and relatively
safe to carry aboard. (And just the ticket for fuel caches.) Or maybe, if
we run across you in our dear old Victory Tug 37--single diesel, 7 knots,
240 gallons of fuel at 2 gph for a range of 840 miles--we'll give you a tow
for part of the distance. (Leaving here (San Juan Islands) about next May
1st.)
Blue skies and calm seas to you.

I'm planning on doing the Inside Passage again next summer and wonder if
anyone in these groups has any ideas about where one might obtain gasoline
between Juneau and either Kake or Petersburg. It's a long haul with
must-see Tracy Arm in between. I'm hoping for information about a resort
or anyone else that could get us a few gallons.
(And yes, I have asked this before!)
