Our fuel capacity is 400 gals. Consumption at 65 mph in seas 3 ft. or less will be around 55 gals./hr. That will be 340 gals leaving about 60 gals to spare. Where we could get into trouble with fuel, is if the seas kick up. Our consumption will jump to closer to 60 gals. / hr. or 370 gals. total, leaving only 30 gals of spare. I will likely carry about 25 gals of extra fuel for insurance. ![Big Grin](/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Hi Bob,
Hans and I are really happy to join you on this record attempting trip and all for a good cause (Molter Trust).
Its also a great excuse to get out of the house and office again and have some fun. I will take some nice shots of Havanna Cuba for you if you agree to pick up a yellow and red life raft that might be in your path with a bunch of knuckleheads in it with cameras (hopefully not). I would offer the same but I have a problem landing in the water and I only have 4 seats (one empty).
All good though. Can't wait and I hope the weather holds. It is looking good.![Hitfan](/forums/images/smilies/hitfan.gif)

Marc,
If your going to have 1 empty seat on the plane you should auction it off here on OSO I'm willing to bet it would bring some good money.
