The weather calmed enough this morning for us to fuel Dignity and head back to Carriacou. For the math/engineering heads here are some stats.
We took on board 81.4 gallons of diesel. The last time we refueled was 117 days ago in Dominica. In that time we’ve run the engine for 99.4 hours. This means we’ve run the generator on average 0.85 hours per day at a rate of consumption of 0.82 gallons of diesel per hour. This covers all our motoring, laundry, water making and household use. The week we were away is counted but this is canceled out by the extra hours spent motoring as a result of the recent maintenance tests. All in all, not bad I think. Recent activity, now that we’re not using the freezer but using the laptops a lot more, has brought the hours per day down to around 0.7.
We’re currently anchored north of Hillsborough close to the Bogles Round House restaurant where we have booked dinner for this evening. Bit of a splash for us but what the hell. It should be good. We’re looking forward to this.
We’ve had a walk into Hillsborough this afternoon, about 30-40 mins each way, to stretch our legs. We’ll stay anchored here for the weekend before checking out of Grenada on Monday.
No internet connection so back to SSB.
