The tanks are dry. I have tried making the cruise at 9.5kts and 9 kts and both times I am still 1000nm away when i run out of fuel. I am attempting a third try and am going to see if i can turn off battery recharging |
Never dive when trying for fuel economy. Diving means your wasting fuel to recharge the batteries, and if auto recharge is on your not getting fuel efficiency. Thats what your problem is. |
Well it looks like the third time is the charm. For some unknown reason for the second half of this cruise I have to turn the "recharge batteries" button off every time I surface dispite never being damaged this cruise and having 100% battery charge.
My biggest regret is an entire night (I dont get nearly enough) wasted trying to sail accross the pacific... real life is a bitch, i want to play computer games
