Lots of wonderful walking streets. |
Filling the boat with diesel is a different experience than filling the car with gas. For one thing Nellie holds a total of 220 gallons in her four fuel tanks. Also, your options of fueling locations are much more limited on a boat. Not all harbors offer fuel and when they do it's often from a single supplier. Prices can vary wildly from harbor to harbor so, finding a good price becomes a game. We usually start looking for fuel when Nellie's tanks are half full. That was in Burlington, VT where diesel was $3.34/gallon. We passed that up and headed north where it went to $3.72/gallon. Again we said no and headed into Canada. It was worse at the first place we checked: $4.62/gallon. The next was marginally better at $4.15/gallon. We finally filled here in Quebec City at a price of $3.53/gallon.
This clever mural has the onlooker wondering what's real and what's not. |
Nellie has enjoyed the time off and even though the rainbow pictured above ends in Quebec City, tomorrow she moves on. |
No miles in the last two days but 1,300 miles this year and 7,600 since leaving Naples in 2016. |
Tomorrow, weather permitting, we'll start back up river towards Montreal. DBH
