Fuel stop!



This little baby stopped by to re fuel yesterday. The vessel is brand new, 5 days old, 5 days in the water, 5 days travel from Glovertown NL to Nain.

The engines are two quite LARGE outboards, Yamaha v8 350 HP.

So with engines like that and what looks like a displacement hull you don’t get very good mileage. 4 miles to the gallon to date.
This may be reduced for awhile with the boat taking on 650 gallons of fuel. 200 in the tanks and 10 drums on the rear deck.
Next stop Port Burwell on the way to Iqaluit, the home port.
