Well I'm usually full of wind, not sure how to transfer it to the fuel tanks though

To be honest, most of the time she will be running at around 6 knots on the rivers and that will be barely over engine idle so the fuel should last a long time.
It's only on those little trips out on to the salty stuff where she will develop a first for the derv

Thankfully diesel sold in the UK to the marine market is the red stuff so is cheaper than what we buy for the cars.
It averages around £1.00 litre.
So only about £560 to fill her up
