My guess is it would have been cheaper to airlift the thing in a C5 Galaxy than buying all the Diesel!!!!!!

One thing however is I have learned most of the nooks and cranny of this thing a lot faster than 30 minutes of boating a week. :drink:

baywatch 05-22-2008 05:44 AM

awesome trip. i check it twice a day to see how far you have made it. Hopefully someday I will get the opportunity to do a trip like this.

otis311 05-22-2008 06:31 AM

Ill cal you as soon as I get done with these depositions and see where you are at. I want a tour of the SS MINNOW

jeff32 05-22-2008 08:06 AM

GLH, Were you around the liberty statue around 1:30 pm on wednesday? That's what I think following your trip.

GLH 05-22-2008 09:07 AM

Well the railway bridge was a little low but the Lock guy lowered the water level of the whole basin by 10" in twenty minutes and we fit under by an inch!!! :D

I met G.L. at lock 11 by prison a few hours ago. The boat looked beautiful. He should be 1/2 way up Champlain by now a few hours south of his home port of Burlington

Awesome trip! Congrats on reaching your destination. I had no idea that was possible.

May we ask..............how many gallons of fuel for the whole trip?

penbroke 05-22-2008 08:21 PM

Well done guys.


Frank :drink:

firehill19 05-22-2008 09:06 PM

Happened to see this post on leaving Ft. Lauderdale and will admit, it was fun following your path north. Great device. Thanks for sharing.

Bobthebuilder 05-22-2008 09:25 PM

GL, first of all congrats on the new boat. I have been busy lately and not able to follow your voyage until tonight. That was cool for sure. Glad it all worked out for you.

Wobble brought to my attention your " Spot" tracker. I bought one today for a little trip I hope to make next week, weather provided.

Again, congrats and enjoy you new toy.:D

Bob

GLH 05-23-2008 06:19 AM

Made it home finally, the kids who did not know we got a new toy were amazed and my wife is still under the shock of not having to get ready for a boat ride as if she was going to an ACDC concert with her hair in a blender....

Good Luck with that saw it on here and it will be quite the accomplishment.

My guess is Mother Nature will be one of the biggest partner in your Trip, so treat her well! Go for it I am envious.

Sounds like 10K in fuel..............That could have been a lot of gas in the Zuls

That's a lot of fuel.

If I made an allowance of 250 gallons in you tanks now, and averaged $4 a gallon, that means a consumption of around $6.500. Hard to average the per gallon cost, but not bad.

THE WIFE ASK WHAT I WANTED FOR FATHERS DAY AND AFTER WATCHING GL'S PROGRESS I TOLD HER GET ME A SPOT TRACKER.

Downtown42 05-23-2008 01:59 PM

Great trip GL. Glad all went well. Now you can just drive up in the car and take a ride without the hassle.

How many miles total for the 1900 gallons?
