"Shoot....The bahamas it ain't...! Sorry Dave... On the other hand we had to move the boat finally to its new home in South Jersey and went abotu 60+ miles from Brick to the Great Bay area by the Mullica River. As hoped, the trip was uneventful, temps never hit 150...Oil was great, even fuel consumption was just barely 52 gallons. Cruised with those big props at about 2200-2400 rpm with a cruise speed around 19 knots. The sea was great with under 3 foot rolls light winds and the economy part of the Garmin unit read .9 nmpg most of the trip. It did take 4 hours but a fun 4 hours. The Little Egg Inlet also shoals and some places go from 20 feet to 3 in a VERY short distance. Made in thru nicley and while I am alway apprenshive and anxious for the first trip, it was fine."
