I wonder if I could to that in my Contender? :)


========================================

At great speed, if you can find enough gas stations along the way!

We are always amused to see faster boats that pass us stopped at the
next fuel dock as we go by. It's very much a tortise and hare kind of
situation when covering long distances, and we see it a lot. We can
run 5 straight days, 120 continuous hours, at slow cruising speed
without refueling. That will get us at least 1,000 nautical miles
down the road if need be. After that we need a fill up and an oil
change.
