The Chief engineer has all of the water tanks filled with fresh water and all of the fuel tanks filled with oil. A big barge ties up next to the Bent and we take on diesel fuek for the main engines and jet fuel (kerosene) for the turbine engine. We have enough fuel now to last through the first leg. Although we make our own water by distilling seawater, we will have to stop midway in our trip in the Aleutians for more fuel and food.
