Re: Gulf of Mexico Trip Cruising Lifestyle
This was after spending 12k updating everything I thought for the trip. All things considered I really didn't run into any issues other than me being a newbie yacht owner.
Average fuel burn was 28 gph running high octane marine gas at 18 mph beginningof the trip. So I really didnt take it easier on her and she needed to her legs stretched so to speak.
By the end of the trip with new fuel in all tanks I was getting 19 to 20 gph at 18 to 19 mph. 437 mile trip and I used a few hundred gallons of gas. All in all I learned alot on this journey.
My captain was a 40 year veteran captain and 71 years old. He was worth his weight in Gold. Pay your captains well because they deserve every penny.
