Nice trip. Glad you had wonderful trip. I look forward to seeing you again at the Washburn marina or out in the islands next time you make it up. Take care.
I get the idea of the electric dinghy motor. After a year do you still like it? How do you usually charge it and do you have a second battery. We chose same weight but a 2.5 hp 4stroke as it was only 800 bucks and a good start even though our Takacat will handle up to 8hp. I see the value of both as the electric is same hp but quiet but needs charging. I carry a one or two one liter MSR fuel bottles on the dinghy for extended range that can take me more than than three hours of range if I take both liter fuel bottles.
Yes! No regrets with the electric motor. It's convenient to charge underway or while connected to shore power - quiet - no oil changes - light weight and easy to install/remove. Sure, your range isn't huge and you're limited to slow speeds, but I don't really want to sit in the dinghy for hours, anyway! We had a yamaha 6hp previously and much prefer this.
Nice you are back. I so enjoy your stories. A beautiful boat she is.
Loved the video. Good job!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
500 miles. Excellent. Cheers.

Nice video would mention the music is overwhelming makes it hard to hear commentary. Thks
