This forum is an opportunity to provide advice and differentiating opinions, and while I don't post often I check-in to this forum nightly. hallucination said: INHO, calling for reservations NEVER works. Unless you have REALLY BIG boat. EARLY in the day works sometimes. Caution, the deckhands at Leverick will only help if you ASK for it. There are too many "i know what to do" captains, that are offended if the lowly dock hands tell the the "right" way to do things. Even if the dockhands are WWAAYY better than the ego captain. During the time of year I charter, ~6 years in a row, the team at Leverick has been great, both with reservations ahead of time, and radio reservations when you're local to Gorda Sound. There was one time my crew didn't receive assistance from the dock crew, and in hindsight it was when the boats docking and fueling to dock crew ratio outnumbered them. I personally appreciate the dock team's knowledge of how the current prevailing winds and current will help/hinder docking in a flash compared to me doing it solo and working through the changing variables. They're good guys, want to assist and make you feel welcome at Leverick; a great place to fuel and take-on water.

We were out the same time and the winds were pretty exciting... until they weren't.
In comparison, we had six people on our 40-foot monohull for the first week and used 75 gallons of tank water and 20 gallons of drinking water (gallon jugs). That is the least tank water we have used. The relatively low temperatures helped keep us from sweating through our clothes. The crew were avid snorkelers and experienced back country campers, so that made a difference.
In July 2015 we had ten people on a Helia 44 cat and we were going through 10 gallons of tank water per person per day. The difference was air temperature and the crew was taking full showers every day.
