A gallon o' regular in Kollyforniya now costs $3.58 on average

It'd cost $71.62 to fill my tank at that rate.

1. marine diesel - $4.59/gallon.

But it's still a lot less than the rest of the world.

And it will have to get much higher still before 'murkins will change their habits.

2. How many gallons it take ya to get to the mainland?

3. None, if the wind is right. And that's what we wait for.

But I use it daily to run my generator - a gallon or so.

Just ordered new solar panels. Hoping to get off of the diesel as much as possible.

4. Generator? Sailboat?

Okay, where do you live? :shrug:

5. I live on my sailboat.

Right now in Two Harbors, Catalina Island.

Tomorrow, who knows?

:hi:

6. Ah

I thought you lived on Catalina, like in Avalon.

Living on a boat sounds seriously cool. Got a pic of it?

7. My avatar. I can't figure out how to put up a bigger pic.

It is seriously cool.

We spend time in Avalon, but way too much drama in the winter.

The coolest thing, when you get tired of the neighborhood or your neighbors, you just take your home and go.

8. What happens when the sea's rough?
