The new carbon tax  was applied  July 1 here in BC.   Locally this puts  
the price of  gasoline at $1.42 Prices in Vancouver are expected to 
reach $1.50 per liter. Cdn   and in recent weeks  diesel had been 
running at anywhere from 5 cents to as much as 10 cents more per 
liter.   I do not know what  the smaller marinas  up coast from 
Vancouver  is charging but considering they often have to barge in all 
supplies; its easy to guess  that they will be in the same situation as 
the Bahamas. Anyone making the trip from Seattle to Alaska or vice versa 
is well advised to begin with full tanks and cruise at a speed 
guaranteed to do the whole trip on a tank full.
