One thing about cruising is that it isn't all beaches and lazy days. In order to get from Point A to Point B we sometimes have to motor. On this particular trip we were not so hardy that we could get along without our Diesel heater. We also like hot water for the occasional shower. All of these conveniences require fuel as well as some days where we motor. In the US and other more populous countries and places it is easy. Drive the boat up to the local fuel dock and simply put the hose into the tanks and flash your credit card. Here in the Southern ocean nothing is that simple. After two months of voyaging in the canals it was time to refuel. There actually is a fuel dock in Puerto Williams which we checked out but it was really meant for commercial boats. In order to use it you had to obtain a paper from the armada, get there when the tide was right and there was no wind and also when the one service station in town was open, no easy feat. So I came up with the plan to rent a truck, borrow some jerry jugs in addition to ours and go back and forth to the station until we were full. Don on Limbo also needed fuel so we pooled our manpower and jugs. Don also had an electric pump which made the transfer into our tanks much faster. It took the better part of a day but we are now full for the trip to Cape Horn as well as our next journey up the east coast of Argentina.
