That's what you get with a blowboat. Seriously, you knew that though, right?

Yes, sailing is fun but for getting anywhere it is really slow.
Seriously, only 50 miles in a 10 hour day is slow. After this cruise,
I may try cruising some other way. Maybe I'll build a larger Tolman
for cruising. That way, I will never pay slip fees either. I have
found that fuel cost is a small part of the cost of boat ownership and
with a Tolman getting 6 mpg and able to go 30 mph, cruising becomes
practical. She won't cross oceans but would get to the Bahamas and
Dry Tortugas.
