 So I'm just starting to get some sun Sun's over there, so I left my solar panel covers hanging down to be in the shade And yeah, I guess I'm just going Rough game plan is Conserve as much energy on the way there and then probably come back a little faster. It's supposed to be sunny all day today Looks like that is the case so far. My destination was full batteries So I'm not going to use them much on the way there I'm using them a little bit right now because the Sun's low in the sky, and I want to go a little bit faster Hopefully in an hour I'll be able to turn off the batteries and just run on the Direct solar and let the batteries charge back up for whatever I'm using right now I have a little bit of wind right now And I'm seeing these things get pushed on if I just had a string up there pulling the front in I Could use these as sails I do have a piece of string there if I get any more breeze like that. It'll give me some propulsion I can just hold the rear one with my hand right up here. There's a strip of mangroves Like a mile or two wide There's a hole somewhere, and I just saw a guy in a caillou go a dugout canoe Go past and I'm pretty sure he's heading for the hole so I'm following where he just went Normally, I don't even try to find the hole. You'll you'll see it's like invisible till you're right up to it Call that I forgot the phone you kind of need to call someone when I get to where I'm going I'll figure it out. At the hole or is it somewhere over here more. Remember what that looks like? Like everything else. I just remembered that I put multiple holes in the hole for these things So I can move the pontoon forward and back a bit and by moving this one forward a little Because these are tilted it raises this pontoon Long story short the boat's tilting to the right slightly So it's aiming at the Sun a bit, and I did notice a slight increase in speed Maybe I should put more of those holes get some more leaning action though. It seems to work pretty well Kill my motor for a minute. It is high tide, so I should be fine Yeah, starting it deeper already All right, I think I'm good. I think it's time to kill the motor for the rest of the way there No, I not kill the motor just kill the batteries So now one panel is charging the other three are driving and I will very slowly Accelerate the rest of the way there as the Sun gets higher like a miles from anything but water Be really nice to have a pirate spyglass or a more modern version would be cool, too I Wonder if I can What if I can get my hands on one if I tell someone all they'll do a review for it? Okay, okay, okay, someone's already sending me one to do a review actually there's a chance It'll be here today, and I can pick it up today Yeah, it might be there by now When I was using batteries earlier, I got down to twenty six point four volts Now I'm back up to twenty six point nine Twenty-seven point one is as high as it'll charge with the current setup Fins up ahead on the left pick up past them They didn't come back up. It looks like it was a decent sized boat time to go a look I only took me a little bit out of the way Around this corner in another mile, maybe which blocks the Styrofoam over there on the shore Pick it up today though. Here's a pretty good example of Why I don't want to put steel reinforcement in anything I see a lot of this stuff Others look good So the panels look good the reviews are fully charged. I'd call that a perfect performance Hopefully it goes that well on the way home See if I can find the guy I need to do more light boxes. Hopefully I can stuff him somewhere in the back. Oh Ride and low and this should be all fine. All right, everything's in the boat including me Not sinking I'm steering the right way before we do this. Let's bust out of here. Where do I put this? I think this is the thing I was talking about on the way here that my spy glass But would lean the boat back a little more, but it's not bad. No bad weather. No leaks I'm a wee bit in the gorgeous day really like to get like to the halfway point and then I feel like I can relax It's just yet. I want to push him for my bike flashing in the boat problem yet or anything to get to the calm water before it gets bad out here. It's smooth waters the rest of the way home and splash up and occasionally right into the boat So do something with the top edge of this like something to make the water go that way Also update the pedal propeller making a lower pitch lower speed rather than the highest When I change the gears I went from eight to one to ten to one So now the propeller turns faster So it can be lower pitch right so I can keep these things pumping for another half a mile I Should be able to turn that their knob And motor home the rest of the way full power I could just turn on the motor for half speed the rest of the way But that's not going to be satisfying I got to get in range for a full speed burn All the way home to that point up there Once we round the bend It's motor in time You know there's a lot of weight for the boat and it's weighed down a lot But I didn't at any point feel like I was in danger of sinking or anything man. Oh, yeah That one's super Not having the phone with me so I could call ahead cost me at least half an hour or maybe longer During primo middle of the day, Sun time got everything here. I can't believe I fit all that in the boat Whatever I'm packed this And go get some water also Excellent first test totally passed the test I Could have asked for worse conditions, but I don't think I would have put more weight in the boat Okay I'm going delirious Go in delirious. I'm getting super serious. I'm going delirious. I won't stop now I won't stop then I never stop before and I don't think I can't oh
