Arrived in Seattle today. For the statisticians in the crowd, we left Punta Gorda 3,928 miles ago. Our modus operandi is to park the RV and explore areas by car. Our dingy, (tow car) has had 3,170 miles added to its odometer. We purchased 500 gallons of diesel fuel and averaged 7.85 miles per gallon. The average price of fuel was $3.83 a gallon. When one considers that our old Magic Penny power boat averaged 3/4 of a mile per gallon, things are looking good.
On Sunday we will board the Osterdam of Holland America in Seattle for a seven day round trip cruise through the inside channel to Alaska. After that trip, Penny and I can say that over our 51 years of marriage we have been in every state of the union. Pictures will follow when available.
