It was great to go cruising up and down the Murray River. At 10A draw, it could go all day on the solar and use the batteries overnight.
For a continuous drive (Kiribati - between islands)it would need to have more solar. But of course, I would not want to use canoes in open ocean between Islands like Tekemau and Meang. I do have a dream of something better. More research and learning before I build that big ocean solar boat.
As we got low on fuel in the ski boat, we decided to see if Dale could ride a knee board behind the solar canoes. Yes, Dale did it! The canoes were very twisted and with the big wake from the ski boat driving around us, the canoes screwed big time on the timber frames and tie down straps. Load of fun though.
