Longest single leg was about 1,500 miles from Norfolk to Charlotte Amalie, USVI, in an Alden 76. But honestly, why would I even post this after reading Richard on Dauntless?

Just saw this apologies for the delay.

I have a non trawler Sea Ray Sedan Bridge. I have to pick my weather and sea state carefully. For the MX trip I had a fuel bladder on the bow.

Happy to discuss anytime.

Just completed Tortolla to Venice FL, by way of San Juan, Dominican Republic, up the Bahama Chain. Fuel ran between $2.25 and $5.25, customs and gov't fees were the surprise. Averging $225, when your just stopping for fuel in Turks and Caicos. Mainship Pilot Hard Top 34.

That’s quite a trip! Just guessing not very many boats your size/fuel capacity make that adventure. At what speed did you normally cruise?

I remember that trip, Mike! Ray and I had a checkered flag stretched across the slip when you and Stuart arrived. Whatever happened to Stuart?

WTG! That's a long time on a 30 footer without reprovisioning!

As to the past, https://share.garmin.com/dauntless

Though it doesn't show the first year of Florida to New England, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, then all the way down tot he Bahamas, then return to Florida and Rhode Island.
At that point I got the InReach
I think we have a winner in the "42' and Under" category! (BTW, she's still floating right-side-up in the slip, Wxx3!)
