Currently 60 miles off Newport.
Not wanting have to cart a ton of fuel off of the boat in Newport as I prepared for the Bermuda Race, I filled the two fuel tanks and for the first time left our extra fuel jugs empty.
At the same time, I adopted the "Captain Ron method of calculating landfall".
From the movie....
Marty: "Go ahead Captain Ron, tell them how you know that we are almost there."
Captain Ron: "Well, listen carefully everyone. When we left (Bermuda) we had just enough fuel to get to (Newport). AND...NOW, (engine dies) We are out of fuel!!!"
No additional comment required.....

Morpheus was designed by Carl Schumacher, built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders in New Zealand and launched in 2002. She spent her first 18 months cruising the South Pacific before reaching her home port of San Francisco. Since that time, Morpheus has been raced and cruised extensively. This blog will document her ongoing adventures.
Too Funny...I hope you have an anchor aboard! Pops
