Winter fast approaches and we have been using heat since the end of September and most of November quite continuously. As the fuel level gets lower, we have to do the "Steveston Run" to fill up. This is not a 15 minute exercise. Going down the Fraser River for a dozen miles takes time - especially if the tide and currents run against you.
Today it was not too bad. We left at 9:45 and were refuelling at 12:30. The tide had a full 1.5 knots running up river and we started the return trip at slack water and managed to do the entire round trip between 9:45 AM and 3:15 PM.
So we'll see how we do over the next number of weeks and when the next Steveston Run has to happen.
