Westview Fuel Station

A fuel dock can be a welcome sight for a cruiser, especially the more north one goes. Cruisers along the inside passage cannot always rely on wind and often must deal with apposing currents. Thus, fuel to power their engines is a necessity. Knowledge of one's fuel consumption is imperative. Typically, volume consumed per hour is the key metric. Ohana burns about 0.75 gallons per hour. At 6 knots cruising speed, that equates to about 8 nautical miles per gallon. Ohana holds 85 gallons of fuel or 680 nautical miles of range. However for planning purposes, 600 nm is a reasonable range estimate, but more importantly, 100 hours would be the safer planning unit to use.
