i've been staring at this thread for weeks in total amazement, all i can say is... If you have to ask a question like that, maybe you shouldnt go. it's always been said "the only dumb question is the one you dont ask" but (sorry if i offend) this is one of the dumbest freakin questions ever asked due to all the variables. your gonna be on a friggen sailboat for christ sakes. and a fast one at that! how much fuel do you need? you could probably do it in under five gallons depending on your experience. i would be more worried about the cost of beer and liquor. just tell the others that just to be safe, fuel cost will be around $82k per gallon.
some of the other great questions i hear are:
what time does the noon brunch start, how much for two of the .50 cent draft beers or i put $5 dollars in the change machine and it only gave me 20 quarters back.
you wouldnt happen to be a high roller in a Vegas casino by chance would you?
