[PUP] Passagemaking report

[Truelove39 at aol.com]

Penny and I departed Beaufort NC 0800 Wednesday Nov 26 and arrived St.  John, 
USVI 1800 Wednesday Dec 3. Seven and a half days. We anchored in Caneel  Bay 
and had a good night's sleep before setting out for Dominica the next  morning 
at 1000. We arrived in Portsmouth at 0130 Friday Dec 5 and anchored. We  
cleared Customs today at noon - US$27.00.  We will depart 0400  Sunday for Rodney 
Bay, St Lucia; Bequia on Monday; St Georges, Grenada  Tuesday and arrive in 
Chaguaramas, Trinidad Wednesday early afternoon.
 
Metrics on Beaufort-St. John passage:
 
Consumed 553 gallons fuel over 207 hours = 2.62 GPH
Distance: 1179 miles = 2.17 NMPG
SOG averaged 6.6 knots with fish in 80% of the time
We took 330 G water at the cruise ship pier in Dominica - cost EC$15.  or 
US$5.60. You cannot begin to run a water maker for that cost. PPM designers  take 
note - big tanks are good!
