Hello,

I recently took my 1970 Katama 16 up the Hudson river to do the Kite Loop. It took 15 days. I slung a hummock up along the river most nights but some were spent in motels. It was a great trip. Total cost was about $2,800 with 1,100 being fuel and another $400 in oil for my 75hp 2 stroke mercury. I averaged about 3 miles per gallon. Single longest day was 200 miles from just north of Waterford to Jones Beach NY.

I claim it is the longest trip ever but I am sure someone else has done a similar or greater distance. Can anyone beat 800 miles in 15 days or 200 miles in a single day? No cabin or Bimini.

Marc
