Thanks GL. That was easy.

Our southbound mileage from St Thomas to Bequai in the Grenadines going via BVI, St Maarten with side trips to St Bartt's and Anguila then to Antigua, past Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, St Lucia, St Vincent and finally Bequai was 650 miles and northbound from Bequai via St Lucia, Montseratt, St Kitts, St Maarten and finally Virgin Gorda in BVI was 500 miles for a total of 1,150 miles. I used a half a quart of oil in each engine and @ my usual 1 MPH would have burned about 1,150 gals of diesel. Not sure what the total cost was but whatever it was I can tell you was so worth it. Trip of a lifetime for me.

We were told not to take any pictures during the St Maarten Coast Guard boarding but Marc wasn't listening. LOL Looks like they got their training from USCG with the boots thing.
When they were done they asked us to hold our position as they had to take pictures. They kept backing up, backing up and finally he said to me with a laugh " We can't get it all in ! " LOL
BTW, during the coarse of the whole trip this was the only law enforcement we saw on the water.

I think you mean MPG...

At 1 MPH you'd still be out there with a mast, a sail, a keel, a beard, a warped sence of values and a phenomenal knowledge according to yourself of seagoing rules and knot making.....

Bobthebuilder

Ah, Good catch GL. Yes, 1 MPG. I did not think that anyone actually reads what I write. LOL And yes, I wish I were still out there !!
