A 17-foot Hurston runabout powered by a 16-year-old 150-horsepower Yamaha two-stroke engine runs out of fuel while crossing the Strait of Georgia from Victoria, Vancouver Island, toward Keats Island on the Sunshine Coast.0:07 The crew, traveling in calm conditions with 0.3-meter waves and a three-second period, relies on two jerry cans to refuel the vessel mid-crossing.1:45 The fuel fill port, located in the engine well, presents a significant risk of water ingress during the transfer, forcing the operator to adjust the boat's heading to minimize spray while pouring fuel.7:06 A broken fuel gauge prevents accurate monitoring of consumption during the two-and-a-half-hour transit.12:24 The vessel successfully reaches the destination, a historic family cabin on Keats Island.12:48 The experience highlights the necessity of carrying reserve fuel and managing weight distribution in small, weather-dependent craft when fuel monitoring systems are unreliable.
