2024 Season

[lakelandterrier]

Just been totting up the log for this season - what with work, weather & family commitments not a great one:

Just 7 trips out
307NM
21 engine hours
236 litres of fuel used
Av 0.78l /NM

The good news is the fuel economy!

Did have a cracking run out to Eddystone & Plymouth in late September taking advantage of unexpected great smooth conditions.

Must make more time next season - I say that every year

Well you certainly like to travel quickly ,.I'm not going to even start to look at mine .......my capital outlay to mile conversion is bordering on Musk like math.....or maths type figures

I'm not that detailed, but I do know that '24 was definitely the poorest since I started boating seriously 4 years ago. Work did play it's part but mainly it was the poor summer we had. I probably totaled nearly 30/35 hours on the water, maybe a little more, but if the weather would have been better it should have been closer to 100 hours. Hopefully '25 will be wall to wall sunshine and calm seas.

I got out 17 times, which is well below my average trips


Managed 690nm and put 39hrs on the engine.

I got out 38 times this year, 2 more than last year, put 74.3 hrs on the engine covered 713 NM's, at about 1.00 litres/NM or 9.23 litres/hour.

I got a nifty little gadget that sits on my NMEA backbone that hoovers up all available data at the tail end of last year; it's telling me that I've been on 66 trips and covered 1424 nm in my RIB this year.

In other boating, I had an eventful jolly 711nm "dash" from Ardrossan to Brightlingsea just before Easter, along with delivering a 13m Shannon from Poole to Ipswich, adding another 206nm to the tally of 2341nm for 2024, so not a bad year at sea.

Hopefully, some more in 2025 and learn to mast twin jets.

Next time I'm out (19th) I'll see if I can work some magic with the Garmin and pull the totals for the year.

I do know I've managed 134 hours in 2024 over about 26 days on the water.

2025 is looking interesting already for trips out - Pasty run dates available soon

They are always fun - Devon's fire boat was twin jet and I was used to the GAFIRS single at the time - was great fun, till you got close to something!!
