SemiJim-
You forgot to add that the marine
fuel dock price for gasoline is considerably less than that for diesel.
Ideally, since this is a sailboat we're talking about, the increased
fuel efficiency of the diesel engine shouldn't matter too much...since I'm generally sailing rather than motoring.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
