Let me rephrase the question, to find out how many miles is involved in
this trip:

*In the boating course, how did they instruct you to estimate how much
fuel you would burn?*

re 'Boating Course' Student's Notes 8th edition 1999
Section 11.3 The Fuel Supply

The fuel supply should be checked to ensure that there is enough for the
journey, or that fuel can be obtained en route. Running out of fuel is
the single most frequent emergency that boaters experience. Every hour,
a marine engine can be expected to use 0.6 liters of fuel for each kW.
In practical terms, a 75 kW gasoline outboard motor on a 6m cruising
boat will give about 1 kilometer per litre of fuel. larger boats and
larger engines use more; diesel engines use less, but all boats use more
fuel when travelling against a head wind and adverse current. If
possible, the up-wind and up-current leg of a journey should be
completed first, as it is then easier to return. A good maxim for
fuelling is one-third out, one-third back, and one-third in reserve.

note: Not sure if this section has been updated since.



Don, I'm trying to find out how many miles the trip involves, not how
much gas to take. You're sounding like my ex wife. I'd ask her if she
wanted to go and pick out paint for the living room and she'd tell me
what time it was.


Boy... you are argumentative...
Wasn't your second question...*"In the boating course, how did they
instruct you to estimate how much
fuel you would burn?"*

WHAP!!! Wake up, Don! I was goofing on you. I asked question A, and you
answered question B, which I did not ask. So, I figured maybe if I reversed
things and asked question B, you might answer question A.

Don appears to be suffering from the JimH syndrome - unable to comprehend.

Don - How far is it?


Average: 10-12 pounds, although free range turkeys are often smaller.


LOL - especially since I just put a 12lb turkey in the oven!

What are you getting bent out of shape for? It seems you might not be seeing
all the messages that everyone else sees. Including this one, there are 25.

I agree that 99% of the time, he's a complete pain in the ass*, but in this
case, he's simply pointing out that you have somehow missed the entire
substance of a simple interchange between you and I. I think you should go
have a couple of shots of your favorite whiskey and watch a bad movie.

* Statistics available by request. Maybe.

We like rum up here... but I did bring up Google Earth and had the scale
legend inserted.
As best as I can calculate the closest point to Miami is North Bimini in the
Bahamas...which is approx 51 miles distance.

OK, but what is the origin of the name "Bimini"? Was it named after the boat
tops, or is it the other way around? And, what's a "Scotia"?
