[PUP] $100 per barrel oil

[scott]  If oil prices are an issue, the number one thing you can do to make
a difference is slow down.  I suspect as you weigh that in your voyaging
plans the throttle will creep right back to where it was and you'll simply
make a few more meals on board rather than eating at the marina dining room.

Your comments were, as usual, very thoughtful and articulate. Having crossed
oceans under sail and now done some passage making under power (and looking
forward to some ocean crossing), it's certainly more expensive under power,
but my wife will come with me on the trawler. She always flew places to meet
me when I sailed there. That's reason enough for me to do it under power.
