    Default Time On Board

    We spend every weekend on the boat. We have missed two weekends since last September.

    According to our boat log, since Jan 1, 2011:

    We have spent 53 nights on board. Friday & Saturday nights along with a couple Sundays and Tuesdays.

    Cruised 503 miles on Lake Norman (averaged 4.9 MPH over 102 hours)

    Burned 375 gallons of fuel (averaged 1.34 MPG)

    Ran genny 128 hours

    I hate to hear that. Be it sunshine, snow, rain, storm, 20F or 100F - we are on the boat each weekend. There have been weekends we never left the slip but we're there. It's our weekend lake cottage.

    We've only been on the boat 5 weekends: Fri - Sun. (10 nights total this year) We've only been out 3 of those weekends due to weather. 3 nights at achor. I doubt we've put more than 15 miles (2 hours running time) on the boat this year. I hoping to get more.

    The big ZERO for us so far this year - just so many family/work/house commitments. This house project in particular was rather time consuming -

    Pretty glad it's finished!

    The house pics look great. I am trying to convince the Admiral to give up the house and move in to a high rise condo. I wanted to look at one on the 25th floor of a new building in Charlotte but she's not ready. I am tired of yard work and exterior upkeep.
