We got a whopping 2.91 miles to the gallon of gasoline. The total distance down and back was 85.6 nautical miles. Average gas cost was $2.09 per gallon.

The highlight of the trip for Betty was the crystal clear water along the way; for me it was seeing Betty adapt so well to handling the boat. The lowlight was the Jerk in the monster cruiser who just about swamped us.
