Re: Bahamas for Christmas

I burn twice as much fuel @ 2k rpm as I do @ 1500 rpm ,1500 rpm is around 6.5 mph .staniel cay I believe is around 217 miles from here . I have a etec 90 ,but I did just mount a sail pro on a drop bracket that gets me 5.7 mph @ 1/4 Gallon a hour for those long crossings .
