May 22, 2008

When the wind doesn't cooperate even a sailing vessel needs fuel.
Shibumi carries 100 gallons of diesel fuel.
When we leave home aboard Shibumi, the only thing we have to bring the boat to a dock for is to tank-up on fuel and water. One day I will install a watermaker, thus making fuel the only issue. When a sailboat is used wisely, fuel is a minor issue. Good sailors can circumnavigate the earth with the fuel Shibumi carries... I'm no where near that level of sailor, yet.
