On board.

Everything has been working well, we bought fuel when we left Prince Rupert, and record We have a day tank in the engine room, for the diesel, and we fill this up every time its half empty,  which means we burned 24 litres, that way we can keep an eye on the amount.  So, one day tank full is about 48-50 litres.  Once we were back in Ketchikan, we had filled 9 and a half times, so a total of about 475 litres. The fill up totalled 488 litres, so we did pretty good. Dont forget , we have the Dickenson stove going every night, sometimes all day too, depending on the weather.We also use the Hurricane heating system for making hot water, which also uses the diesel.  There has only been one night that we didnt have the Dickenson stove on!!!!!  We cook on propane and have 2 ,30lbs. bottles, which lasts us 4 months. Slowly but surely we are getting into a  smooth  way of doing things on the boat, dont forget, we were only together on the boat on the weekends, for 5 years, and now its all of a sudden 24/7, two people in a small space, trying to get everything done.  Bert takes care of the engine and everything else that goes with it, all the mechanical stuff, i keep the boat clean, cook, buy groceries, do the laundry, when we can, take care of Annie, and keep a close eye on things. Overall every thing is working very well.
