but, i'm wondering if i'll even be able to make it home now when my mission off the coast is complete.
Does anyone go for a fuel stop in the Canary Islands before they head to the US coast?
cheers guys  |
Drop to 9, 8, 7or 7 knots (I usually choose 9) and you'll see a big jump in your range vs. ahead 1/3 (11 knots).
