Start Loc: Newport (27o 12.56'S, 153o 05.61'E)
Narrative: We have now been back for three weeks. We did our removal from storage back into the house, moved all our stuff off the boat, got the kids back to school and myself back to work. We have also had three weeks of rain, so we didn't get around to refuelling and cleaning the boat. We took the opportunity of fine weather today to do some of that, and headed up to the boat.
The kids needed a little bit of reminding to get their pre-sailing jobs done, but we cast off at 11:15am and motored out of the marina. There was a huge amount of rubbish that had accumulated around the water line over the last three weeks, so it was good to move the boat and wash that off as well. There were plenty of boats on Deception Bay making the most of the fine weather, but we motored straight into Scarborough Boat Harbour to refuel. We were tied up at the fuel dock at 11:50am.
Refuelled: 32.03L @ 175.0c/L = $56.05
Economy since 11 Jan: 32.03L for 14 hr 13 min = 2.25L/hr
Economy overall: 684.45L for 336 hr 12 min = 2.04L/hr
I think it's safe to say we averaged two litres per hour for the trip.
We left the fuel dock at 12:22pm, motored back out of the harbour and were back in our berth at Newport at 12:52pm.
Our next step is to finish getting her cleaned up and then put her on the market; but we still use her until sold ...
