Josin’s 2023 cruise #23/2

A Baked Beans update.


The motor on the runabout next door boasts 600 HP from a V12.
While as a motor man I am very impressed with the incredibly compact packaging of all that power, I cannot but help but to do a little calculating.

The label lists 1400 KJ of energy contained in the tin of beans.
If I have stacked the decimals correctly, that amount of energy would power that motor at full blast for just about one millisecond.

Makes you think. And grieve.

NB: Beans consumed, so no more compass problems.

Its raining and blowing. An inside and wait day. Promising tomorrow.

Alls well.
