$3.89/gallon at our marina (Vermilion, OH). It has been that price

I do not know what diesel or high octane is going for.

They only sell one grade so I don't know. Still a helluva price for a
marina.

Topped off the tank (19 gallons) after a bit of Vermilion River
cruising with my wife (Lake was still too rough).

Lake Erie was too rough? Were you in a canoe?- Hide quoted text -

Have you ever been out in Erie? A typical day out of Owen Sound in
Lake Ontario Proper with a 20 mile an hour wind is nice. A typical day
out on Erie with a 20 mph wind is rough. The lake is much shallower. I
dont know about the Amereeecan side......

Based on his reply, the answer is obviously no. If he did he would
know that wave periods are short and the Lake can build
significant waves in a short time because of it's shallowness,
especially at the western basin. 4 footers on Lake Erie are totally
different than 4 footers on the Ocean and definitely uncomfortable in
a small boat. The Lake was capping when we tried to go out so we
turned back.

Trouble posting today, Warp17?

Getting this thread back on topic..............

We topped off the tank today at our marina before heading out onto the
Lake. Still $4.19/gallon and squirted in a whopping 24 1/2 gallons..
Not bad after all the cruising we have done on the boat since the last
top off.

$4.19 a gallon at the marina ain't bad, Jim, relatively speaking of course.

I'll be putting in $75 worth Saturday, I guess, for use on Sunday. That
should be about 17 gallons. WaWa.

I agree. As I said before (though some doubted me) our marina (and
most I dealt with around here) do not adjust their prices until a new
fuel shipment is received.

Wow, Harry's 36' lobster boat only takes 17 gallons?
I wonder how that lobstre boat holds up to his statement at Chuck's
place about recreational boats using too much fuel?

using too much fuel?

Florida delivered 4.30/gallon for Diesel (200 gallon min), at the marina
about $4.75
Bahamas big islands $4.90 to 5.20 Outislands just hit 5.70 Gas is over
5 every where.

$4.19 is fantastic. Is about $4.45 for RUL at the service station. Paid
$4.85 for diesel in Oroville yesterday, and most stations as I came through
Marysville were $4.99 diesel.

It will take about $775.00 to top of my two 70-gallons tanks in my
Regal in Bethel Island in the San Francisco Bay Delta. That's
figuring $5.50 a gallon. If I'm lucky. Haven't been to the Delta
this summer yet, so hopefully it's only $5.50. Reg. gas at land
stations is around $4.50 and up.
There is good news though. It may take only $675.00 to fill up as
I've got a few gallons in the tanks right now.
Whew! I'm so lucky.

I filled up a couple weeks ago and put in $175 for 47 gallons. Been boating
twice since then, but first trip was for shad and only went maybe 4 miles.
2 gallons of gas. This week went up to Oroville for a couple days boating
and did a lot of the movement on the T-8 kicker while trolling or on the
electric when bass fishing. So probably only burned 15 gallons of gas in
the two days.
