As skipper one of your primary goals is to gain the confidence and trust of your new crew. So it’s not a good idea to run out of gas as you bring them back from the airport. Fortunately a passing cabbie took us to a gas station and then to another one that had gas containers and back to the first to use the ATM so she could be paid and so the gas guy could try to sell me one of the twenty gas containers he had since found. To be fair I had filled up the tank that morning and being from the UK didn’t realise how quickly one of Detroit’s finest could lay waste to half a fossilised forest.
Pub grub tonight and a last couple of pints for the crew before we set off. If you want to read the blog of this journey, click the link here or at the top left of this page: http://chrishorsemantransat2.blogspot.com
