A few facts and figures

It's interesting to put together some facts and figures at the end of a trip, especially so when the trip took six months to complete so, here we go.
Starting from here on 3rd April

Leaving Torquay.

We logged 3133 nautical miles

Of the 169 days of the trip we were underway on 110 days, spending a total of 607 hours and 44 minutes underway.

Of those hours 306 hours and 15 minutes were spent under sail and 301 hours and 29 minutes under engine, including a lot of hours motor sailing, which we did not log separately.

Those engine hours used approximately 656 litres of diesel (approximately because we have yet to top the tank up so an estimate is included for the last fill). We paid wildly varying prices for diesel as there have been big changes in diesel prices during the trip. Not surprisingly the best prices were at fishing harbours and the most expensive at marinas.

During the 169 day trip:

88 nights were spent in marinas or harbours with pontoons to lie alongside (including when we left the boat for our excursion home or for a bed ashore, we were still paying for the boat). Cheapest £18 (Peterhead), most expensive £32.63 (Chichester and Brighton).

25 nights were spent on moorings. Cheapest free, most expensive £20 (Beaulieu River)

3 nights were spent lying alongside harbour walls.

47 nights were spent at anchor, all free, and we only experienced one problem with dragging.

6 nights were spent at sea on passage.

Finally arriving back here on 19th September
