Well above 5 bucks a gallon for diesel at some marina pumps around here.
$4.70 per gallon of diesel at the pumps on the highway. Ha ha ah! I just
love it. I have noticed a decrease in boat operations since the prices
have gone up. Hope to see the prices go up much more as the higher they go
the fewer stinkpotter arseholes on the water. There's a silver lining to
every cloud.

I find myself laughing at the redneck jerks who used to think it was so
cool to drive around in those giant, dually, diesel pickup trucks and to
leave them running for half an hour at a time in the parking lot while
they were shopping just to run the A/C so it would be cool inside when
they got back. Poetic justice, I say! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Then there's the stupid fisherman who runs a 40-foot or more open
fisherman with two or three 250hp motors on the transom. They are
complaining it takes a thousand bucks to fill their tanks. And all this
just to go out and catch maybe fifty bucks worth of fish? Ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha! What fools. What imbeciles. What morons!

Then there's the Hummer crowd. Gasoline powered but lucky to get 8mpg.
Fill her up? Yessir, go ahead, make my day. I laugh at you too. Just
another stupid person to kick around.

I look forward to the day when diesel is 10 bucks a gallon. That will
surely cause all those so-called sailboats that are nothing but
motorsailers to just stay tied up at the dock. Good riddance to them all,
I say. Take your Perkins, your Yanmars, your Westerbeeks, your Volvos,
your Kubotas and all the rest of your pollution machine abominations and
use them as moorings or ballast only. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Use your sails for once. Learn how to get under way using sails only.
Learn to anchor and moor using sails only. In other words learn how to
sail. After all, you claim to be sailors, don't you?

HAHAHAHAHAHA I am headed to Bimini this weekend (2 hours each way)....
Plan to fish and dive all weekend and return in time for work on Monday AM.
I can make more than enough money Friday AM and Monday to pay for my fuel
while you are chugging against the Gulfstream at 5 kts minus the 3 kts of
stream all day Friday and Monday. $1000 for a fillup... I wish...600
Gallons @ 3.50/gallon delivered....

BTW... We have 36,000 BTU of AC, a deepfreeze and hot and cold running
water.... lots of it....

Fuel is still only about 20% of my total cost of ownership.....
