Another weekend

another Skater trip.


Our 15 years old son and I, lowered the Skater of the lift, did our inspection, and had
another great day of boating. We went out the Myakka River, down Charlotte Harbor,
West to Boca Grande pass, and found a nice quite spot on the beach on Cayo Costa
island. We dropped the anchors in 3-4 feet of water, and really enjoyed the location.

Air temp 91, heat index 99, beach water temp 90+, winds SW 10, and bright blue skies.

We went a total of 51.5 miles, burned 21.9 gallons of 93 octane, for a 2.35 avg mpg.

Here is a sample of the pictures

Appsys,

Can you create a chart of RPM VS. MPG?

for instance, at

3000RPM you can go 2.1MPG
3200RPM you can go 2.2MPG
3400RPM you can go 2.5MPG
etc
etc


just curious how the optimax'es are doing with the 32 skaters. Then we can plot on a graph, maybe it's bell curve shaped...or maybe it hits a plateau and flattens out


thanks....noli
