GL: Fuel Survey Results

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

I  blew it last fall. We could have taken about 1400 gallons in Solomon's in  
November but I chose to only take 500. Silly me. I didn't foresee the big  
increase. 
 
Big  boats with big tanks rule. A friend has an 80-footer which used to 
bunker 10,000  gallons. He is lamenting the fact that the PO reduced that by 1500 
by installing  a black tank. 
 
We  bunker 1800 gallons and are going  to begin making more frequent passages 
to Trinidad and  Venezuela.
 
We  will burn 750 gallons getting there, but then we can fill up for  
$1.00/gallon in Trinidad and $0.10/gallon or so in Venezuela. We  will consume 750 
gallons coming back to the States, but what's left over  will sure dilute the US 
price for a fill or two. 
 
Regards,
