Here ya go. Cruising expenses for a Nordy 62. If you check historical diesel prices then you can estimate how many miles he travelled each of those years, adjust for inflation, and Bob's your uncle!

How can they get that accurate with a tape measure, without having parallax error?

I didn’t worry about it since I was less than 50’ which at the time bumped us into a higher rate. Two of my canal trips were on paid deliveries. The owners agent(s) handled Canal fees which included the Admeasuerers. I guess if it was close, you could discuss the length but they do hold the keys.

At the time everything was paid in cash including the majority of cargo ships. When we were paying our fees, there were two agents for large ships paying $200k plus in cash each. It was interesting to watching the bank tellers with the counting machines.
