Re: Is The Gloyhole reachable?
I take a 21' cc to the glory, fingers etc. but we have all of the safety gear raft, epirb etc. . We watch the weather and bring 3 guys max. the thing some people dont realize is that if u get in trouble u can also put another boat in trouble trying to help you.
A fuel/range calculation that is pretty close and will give you approx. range of your vessel is range=1/10th rated hp = GPH at running speed capacity divided by GPH = running hours running hours X speed = total range then use the 1/3 out 1/3 back 1/3 reserve theory from there
ex. 150 hp 15 80 gal divided by 15 = 5.3 running hrs 5.3x 23 knots=122 miles which roughly gives you a range of 40 out.
