We now have exactly 210 litres usable diesel in the tank (70 hours motoring or 420nm @ 6kt), and one jerry with 20 litres as reserve of last resort.  With 550nm left to Gibraltar we need to either sail 130 miles of that or buy another 65 litres of diesel somewhere along the Spanish coast. Engine hours 856.6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were going to go ashore to explore and get some groceries but we\u2019re exhausted after the diesel transfer.
