Murf..fuel is an issue. I fill up once per year. She burns about 3/4-1gph. 200 gallons will run her from here to Seattle non-stop. I calculate that an extra 150 gallons will get me to Hawaii with reserves.

We go out for a week to 10 days at a time and there's no refueling points enroute. Water is our biggest issue but conserve..100gal does us fine. Ice is another issue (for the toddies) but always find a calving glacier and net 1,000,000 year old ice that lasts the trip.

The seas in Prince William tend to be confused and tightly fetched. I even slowdown in 5+' seas. You would skip across the tops.

And...I hate to admit..I have had sea kayaks keep up for short periods.

I friend of mine builds custom masts in Anacotes, WA. Tubular aluminum with radar pads..look good.
