Here are my details:
722NM
70-80 gallons of diesel used (Close enough for me)
5.5 kts average.
130 engine hours
(We went all the way to the END of Toba Inlet! And found the black flies mentioned in Curve of Time.)

We also launched in Blaine. We were having so much fun, we borrowed my son's car (he lives in Bellingham) and took the trailer and truck home so we could take the boat all the way home to Hood Canal on the water. Five more easy days on the water and NO standing waves this time at Foulweather Bluff. Sweet!
