Hi, Kristin... in Bill's C182 (with Texas Skyways 280 hp) running pretty lean (11 gph) we had 6 hours of endurance, plus 45 minute reserve. So also for us endurance wasn't the primary issue... rather our concern all along was the remote territory between Prince Rupert and Port Hardy. On this day we had a 20-to-30 tailwind and no real threat of icing, so it was a pretty nice leg.Fuel in KTN and then you only have a bit over 500nm to get to Friday Harbor. What is your max range? I have flown that route a dozen times, but with eight hours endurance, not much of an issue for me. I would go SIT to BFI or RTN or PAE.
