Do you think that diesel fuel for cruising boats has to be expensive?

"Not so," says two-year-old Maya, the blue-shirted ringleader of the young Bagheera gang aboard the Montreal-based 72-ft schooner Bagheera. "Not if you know where to buy it. We paid 4 cents a gallon for ours. And we bought thousands of gallons. In fact, it was a good thing we had all the blue plastic 55-gallon drums to augment our normal tankage. But we got those free, too."

“The diesel may be cheap,” says Maya, “but they really hit me up for my formula and Huggies.”
