 two pieces of kind of cool news this morning. One, the shark's lights are over there. The motor was making a terrible noise since the last time I fixed it. It was just because I tightened something too tight so I put some shims in. Anyway, fixed it. Now it sounds super smooth. So much better. The other thing is I have a very good lead on being able to cover the sails for this thing with solar panels. Like the whole thing with high quality solar panels. It'll cost me a bit of money but not like something I can afford. Oh, I'll say more about that later. So these solar panels, I don't want to say too much because it's not a done deal. However, I think I just need to go answer the email I got this morning and say yes. And then it's a done deal I think. Alright, let's dry. Yellow. Of course, I can do some touch-ups with a paintbrush. First, I'm gonna wait to see if I like it. You know, when this has the cover on it, this is gonna look like a snail. I mean it already looks like a snail, a slug. But then it's gonna have this big round thing back here like a snail shell. Maybe I should paint it like a snail shell. That thing there. I wonder if I can put my covers on yet. I don't know. I think they might still stick. But I don't want this to get rained in more. It got a little bit of water in yesterday. Alright, that should keep the rain out of it. These ones fit loose so I just gently rested them on there. Now the paddle wheel cover, which goes right here, I want to paint maps on it. Like maps of the local area. Like right here, a nice map of between here and town and then maybe some dotted-out routes with all the little obstacles in the way, the shallow areas, the mangrove islands, everything I have to go through. Now I just need to give this a few days to harden. I guess in the meantime I can go work on my island. Oh, back to digging. Alright. Oh chair, you look so so cute. I found this floaty carpet out in the water like, I don't know, a year ago. And I think I can make a chair thing if I, yeah. I also made a new hoodie because I wanted something that could keep me out of the sun. I feel like I can pedal for hours in this thing now. Oh, that's gonna be good. I kind of like build some sunglasses into my hood here or something. This thing fit right between the two metal things here. No problem. Everything else went back together, no problem. And this may be just me making things up, but I'm pretty sure the boat's faster now because I, you know, the bottom of that pontoon I was working on is smoother now than I was before. So theoretically it should definitely be faster. And I feel like it's faster, but I always feel like it's faster when I just made something new, obviously. I put a stronger stick on the steering here, one of these things. So I don't have to worry about the little PVC pipe I had on there flexing when I'm trying to steer hard. Yeah, I'm really happy with this. I do still need to do some kind of hinge to hold these covers on. I want to, I want to look at some hinges I have, have this big strip of stainless steel hinge. I was gonna put that on, but I just don't think that's right. I'm gonna have to come up with something else. I think I need to make something fancy because it doesn't have a flat edge anywhere. So I'd only be able to put the hinge on a little spot. It wouldn't be that strong. I'll figure something out. I mean one thing I could do is just drill a hole through this right through the the lip that comes up in here, put a string through, and then it would just kind of be loose so you could take it off. And it wouldn't fall in the water or anything. Just put it on, but it would be loose. That's not a bad idea. I'm still thinking about it though. Alright, let's take it out for a spin. Man, that is one comfy seat. I think I'm going to make the exact same thing over here. This is just temporary one. I have a couple cushions in here for the temporary seat, but yeah, I need to make one really good like that. Inside the hatches are hopefully, yep, totally dry. Reigned a whole bunch this morning and yesterday. Good, I'm really happy with that. That's a cumulative knowledge of my pedal boat experience put into practice so far. Hopefully, I'll learn some cool stuff on this and be able to do even better next time. Man, this is pretty good. I'm really happy with the paddle wheel. You know, my old pedal boat, I didn't really optimize the paddle wheel. I was just like, I just need something that'll get me around, but this boat actually tried to make it pretty efficient and I think I got it pretty good. Stainless steel tools. I don't have a stainless axe in there yet.
