Cowes to Anglesey

[Jrworthopod]

Hi any advice on motoring in a rib from IPW to Anglesey?
Lack of petroleum fill ups may be an issue?

Keep the brown bit on the right

Solent to the West Country should be easy enough, but it's a bit more challenging when you turn the corner.

I've done Falmouth to Pwllhelli non-stop before, but more usual would probably be to refuel at Milford Haven.

What sort of range have you got?

I did Poole to Penzance a couple of years ago, my write up and thoughts here: http://www.rib.net/forum/f18/poole-p...log-64381.html . Looking at a chart and calculating the distance/time based on assumed speed is one thing, but if the weather isn't with you, it all takes much longer!

Agree with John - fuel in the Solent/West Country area should be fine. I assume the Shearwater has a reasonable tank size, and many harbours along there have fuel. You can definitely get diesel at Newlyn/Penzance as the last place in the west country, if no petrol on the waterside certainly in Newlyn there's a garage fairly close by if you had to use jerry cans.

There's petrol at Dartmouth/Salcombe, Falmouth, Milford Haven.

From what I remember the bigger Shearwaters have 300 or 400 litre fuel tanks which should be enough to get by without lugging jerry cans in taxis.

Oh I like the sound of this, but the other way as I am based north wales, I can see fuel may be the issue.
