The First Fuei Test - Using Spare Tanks

Caravan of Loopers Following Late Date

Leaving Hoppie's and Fabulous Fern early on Sept 23rd, Late Date had full spare gas containers on board. Bob, Brett and Colin felt confident that they would go the distance. All the Loopers followed in caravan and they made excellent time.

The Looper crews are all good people and invited Bob, Brett and Colin to come visit them in the anchorage.  Steve Sterk came over to Late Date in their dingy and took all to another Looper yacht for cocktails.

Tomorrow, Late Date heads for Turtle Bay Resort up the Cumberland River. They need to make 140 miles and are leaving at 6:15 am.
