Paul,
Were are you stopping over at. I know you said u have 160 miles. How far are you from Solomons Is. Solomons is approx 40 miles from St Michaels. Also, call st michaels marina for there fuel prices 18006788980, they offer discounts with check or cash. As far as iam aware there pretty high though. For example for the weekend they charge 3.50 ft. I do not know if higgins has fuel or gas. Just trying to help ya....

I am having some issues here but may stop at tangier or Crisfield on the way .Solomon's is planed for the trip back so we can spend more then 1 day there

Any other places you recommend on the way up ?

Any help on fuel prices will be a big help gas is 3.50 here ( a buck more then road gas ) diesel 2.14 on up I expect 2.75 or so up the bay

I never been further south than Solomons Island. Crisfield may be a nice place to lay over. I heard it is a great place to eat but definelty not a big place to stay. Probably nice for a 1 night stay.

Fuel availability would be st Michaels marina (Probably High). Solomon island Spring cove had cheaper gas prices in july. Kent island is pretty close to solomons but it would make you drive off your course a little to get there.

You might want to load up before so you can refuel at solomon Island. Do you have a 300 gallon Diesel tank. How much range do you get with the 6b Cummins out of curiousty.

I hold 250(so i have been told) but never put in over 150 so I should have plenty just . Fuel prices seem to be all over the place I have seen .75 diffrence 6 miles apart

spring cove has diesel for $2.39gallon. St Michaels is charging $ 2.79 a gallon but would sharpen the pencil if you paid with cash or check. I just called at 130pm. Higgins does not have no gas dock.
Thanks Butch

My marina (White Point Marina Yeocomico River) off the Potomac is charging just under $2 for diesel

hey paul, glad to see you are on the way. dad and i will be there on sat. morning. dad said he promises to behave himself and not act like a kid again, but i told him to just enjoy himself. i have a feeling he's bringing a trunk load of material from the tri cabin.

aaronbocknek · Post by **aaronbocknek** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 7:13 am

paul, i will be motoring from baltimore, and dad will be motoring from springfield, virginia. my ETA should be 0800 or 0830, i will be leaving the house at 0600 sharp. dad's ETA is scheduled for around 1100. i've already told phil that i might not be back saturday evening depending on how i feel, so i am taking a 'remain overnight kit' with me as is dad.
dad got an email from don and bob at beacon marine about a story regarding BUBALA 3 and her legacy in the bocknek family.
i'm really stoked about seeing everyone tomorrow.
