We had one more chance to
see a calving glacier if we could get the 25 miles up Tracy Arm to the
Sawyer Glacier. That would require more fuel than we could carry. It is
about 125 nm from Petersburg to our next fueling point at Auke Bay just
beyond Juneau. Add in 50 miles for Tracy Arm and we’d need fuel for 175nm. Our
tanks hold 40 gallons and we carry another 20 in Jerry Jugs. So, if we
leave Petersburg full; and, we get 3 MPG, we have a range of 180 miles.
Perhaps, we could extend our range if we traveled at 6 knots instead of 12.
We’d not tested that. More... |
