How many miles is it from the Channel to Topock? Are there any gas docks that have 100 octane or race gas in between?

If your tanks are full when you leave you should have no problem making the round trip without refueling.

Thanks for the info. I would hate to run out of fuel and have to get out and push.:D

About 11 to the Sandbar and 21 to the I-40 bridge starting at Windsor ramp. Add a couple miles if you are lauching from the Marina and going through the channel.
Once you hit the mouth of the river channel there are mile markers on the Cali side but I dont know their correlation to the landmarks I mentioned.

That's not accurate. It's 21miles from the London Bridge to the 40 Bridge. You can confirm this using the Path Ruler on Google Earth.
Sandbar to 95 bridge in Needles is ~ 21 miles, 40 bridge is half that. ;)
Needles Marina has fuel, I thought Topock Marina did too, or did they not replace the docks after the fire??? Moabi Might have fuel, but I'm not sure...I've only bought on the water in Parker.

You wont have to push, the current will bring you back, might take a pretty long while, but you well get back.:D

Topok has "Premium", 91 octane, no "regular", 87 octane. No race gas, but you coulld mix it yourself if you wanted to carry the ingredients onboard:(
Needles and Moabi also had 91 last I was there getting gas.

I read your first post as 11 to the sandbar and 21 miles (from there) to 40 bridge. Meaning 32 altogether. Sorry, I misunderstood.
RTJas :D ......getting more coffee now..... ;)

He will have to go to the KToy School of Boat driving to learn the proper way to set his boat on kill.

I filled up at Topock marina during Labor day weekend. They have 100 octane at docs with the restuarant. Oh and damn good food there to. I bet this time of year would be a good time to sit out on the balcony and have a good lunch.
