Quote: Originally posted by honda tom  | 57 gallon tank + 5 added on the way down. the distance is 140 as a crow flies. I Imagine we traveled close to 175 mi. Boat was still at 1/8th+ when
we got to La Paz. On the way back with less sightseeing we had close to a 1/4 tank when we arrived in Loreto.
So... usage seemed to be about 54 gallons.
175 miles / 54 gallons = 3.25 MPG
Typical cruise speed was 25MPH @ 2900RPM
4.3L V6 Aluminum boat (light)
The last time I did this was in a heavy 24 foot Bayliner Trophy with a 305CI V8 ... I thought I remember us getting 2.5 MPG. 63 gallon tank and we
carried 10 extra.
I have not purchased fuel there but I think JZ said that in a pinch you could find fuel at San Evaristito.
Working on the pictures... |
Thank you, cant wait to see the pictures

Great photos Tom.
Want to check out Punta Colorado. Those are some impressive palms. Never taken the boat to Tecelote. That would be fun to anchor and swim into the
bar.

When we arrived at Tecolote there were about 6 pangas... five were loaded with people and gone within an hour. I found that this is where many
sightseeing boats leave from for trips around Partida and Espirito santo. They snorkel and serve lunch on the islands... about a five hour trip....
and leaving from here saves about a half hour or more from leaving from La Paz.
Tecolote had maybe 6 restaurant/bars 3 were open at this time.
The caretaker at Colorado was very nice guy... he likes to talk, I would have no reservations about dropping in.

honda tom, do you recall whether the palms at Punta Colorada were dates or coconut?
