Thought I put this in a post somewhere but couldn't find it. This year the boat was in the water from March 30th to October 28 - 2012. The stats are as follows:
-mileage for year 2012 is 1601 nautical miles.
-moving average speed 4.0 kts
-total average speed 2.9 kts
-max speed 9.9 kts (surfed the boat)
-stopped time 164.6 hrs
-moving time 395.5 hrs
-total time 560.1
-odometer reading (since spring 2008) 7532.3 nautical miles.

engine hours. (When I got the boat I think the hour meter said 1238 hrs (pretty sure that was it)...did the overhaul of the whole boat that summer and finally put it in the water for 3 weeks in Sept 2007... hardly getting a chance to use it. All following numbers are done on haul-out at the end of the sailing season which is end of October for me.

-2008 ... 40 hrs on engine ...1278 hrs showing. / / / (1106.8 nm sailed for that year).
-2009 ... 33 hrs on engine ... 1311 hrs showing. / / / (1552 nm sailed for that year).
-2010 ... 73 hrs on engine ... 1384 hrs showing./ / / (2037.1 nm sailed that year).
-2011 ... 73.3 hrs on engine ... new hour meter installed 73.3 hrs + 1384 = 1457.3 hrs / / / (1235.2 nm for that year).
-2012 ... 93 hrs on engine ... 166.3 hrs + 1384 = 1550 hrs on engine / / / (1601 nm that year).



Edits:

* I put on more engine hrs this year than any previous. We had a great summer, along with that exceptionally nice summer came calm days with little or no wind. There were days I went out and had to motor out as much as 6 miles onto the ocean to find a draft of wind...hence the 93 hrs. Other years show lower engine use. An example would be the year 2009. I spent the summer cruising the coast. As summers go 2009 was a terrible summer and with more than usual fog and rain. There was, however, always wind. There is also the fact that I will start the engine sooner now than 5 years ago...maybe I'm getting old. The kids are older now and demand to "get home" as the wind gets light. There was a time when it would be sacrilege to start the engine when the wind got light. LOL

**I screwed up. I had written in my 2008 log until Aug and then stopped.....so I had to figure out the end data....the rest were recorded in my log.

*** As I read the engine hr meter from now on I have to add 1384 hrs to the number on the current meter to record the previous amount of hrs.
