REALISTIC FUEL FUEL BURN CALCS

[notaclue]

HEY NUTTERS, NOTACLUE DOWN IN THE SEA OF CORTEZ..... DIDN'T GET A SINGLE RESPONCE FROM MY LAST POST SO FIGURED IT WASN'T THAT RELAVENT----O WELL--- HAVING MADE TWO 95 MILE PASSAGES , ONE TAKING 11 HRS AT 2500 RPM AND THE OTHER TAKING 9HRS AT 2800 RPM [SO CALLED CRUISNG SPEED FOR A 110 YANMAR] THE DIFFERENCE IN TOTAL FUREL USED WAS ALMOST A WASH--- HAVING NOT USED ANY FUEL FOR THE LAST 2 HRS OF OUR CROSSING COMING BACK FROM ROSILIA TO SANCARLOS. WE DID HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO 6 KNOTS ON THE WAY OVER FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS BECAUSE OF SHORT SQUARE WAVES OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEA OF CORTEZ.. NITE CROSSINGS AND WATCHING THE SUN RISE OFF THE HORIZON IS REALLY A BLAST!!! TRY IT SOMETIME..... LATER,,,, STEVE AND TINA ,,, WAY DOWN SOUTH 😉 😉

Steve, Be assured their are a lot of us reading your posts. Sounds like you are having better weather than we are.
We use to go 50 miles out of Kino,and I know it can get rough very quickly.

I'm reading very carefully, 'cause I think we plan to follow your footsteps (or is it boat wake?) next year -
