I agree with Bruce that the Hobie Mirage drive is an excellent backup unit for operation in long term weedy conditions. Having used one for several weeks every day through weed choked ponds and pedaling two miles out to sea off Nantucket, it is a great drive unit. Also stood up very well to being dragged over sandy and pebble/rock strewn beaches.

Hi Greg:

If seaweed on the prop continues to be a concern, you might consider a hobie mirage drive as a backup drive unit. These are efficient and weedless.

Howdy Greg,
That was a very good shakedown. And the best place to do it. Might be a good idea to test again Van Isle in early spring to see how she handles the huge Pacific rollers then the tricky currents of inside passage. Bon chance! -Ron

Wonderfull,

I am still completely anxious to see the whole results. Wonderfull approach. Learning one thing at the time is still the best human way of exploring new areas.

I purchase tonight part of the material for my own Northern project. Can’t wait more for that. The last single thing is a carbon fiber H beam along the centerline (between shell and flat floor. This way, the narrow base will act as a real ski for when I will have to pull/push the boat over floating ice.

It’s almost as if the trial run wasn’t ment to happen…yet.And yet,
If a trial is ment to test the team and how it handles adversity this was a very successful and team building trip.
