Sandys counterclockwise circumnavigation Vancouver Island

[smckean (Tosca)]

I finally got around to compiling some statistics from my trip. I thought those of you who followed my adventure might be interested:

- Used 444.2 gallons of gasoline at a cost of ~$3000

- Distance travelled = ~1300 miles (lots of trips up fiords etc included)

- Spent about $5500 on moorage, food, dining out, repair, and all other non fuel expenses

- Favorite marina = Lagoon Cove

- Most treasured pieces of equipment = Garmin Inreach, Honda 2000i generator, ARB freezer

Thanks Sandy for the stats. Good information! The Garmin Inreach was much treasured to me too because it was fun to communicate with you via text or email when you were in an areas where you could not be reached via satellite.

….oops meant in areas where you could not be reached via cell tower. Garmin Inreach is a great tool with example in your travel and with travel by Jay-and-Jolee on Hunkydory!

Gary,

Yep, a great tool. I'm pleased that it was fun for you. I was even more pleased for myself !! As you know, the information you provided me was invaluable. When one is out there with no other communication (not even VHF weather sometimes), and especially if you are alone, having that infallible way to always "talk" to someone was a great comfort to me.....not to mention the peace of mind that came from knowing at least something about what the wind and waves might be doing out there before I poked my nose into the ocean for that next rounding.

Thanks Sandy

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for posting those numbers. Loved the fuel one. Would have loved it more if you had squeezed in 0.2 more gallons somewhere

Great trip and glad you made it. I agree that he inReach has to be in the top of the list for most essential.
