Pedal drive, version 4, Italian Racing Red, so it must be fast.

[seascape27]

Boat delivery... While the work still continues on the pedal drive we had to take the boat over to PT this weekend. She looks so small out of the locks...

[seascape27]

I love how Ross just doesn’t fuck around with half measures. This is our new (version 3) pedal drive. Fully engineered and professionally build.

New seacycle, some assembly required...

[seascape27]

Safety equipment check.... Well I'm glad to say the ocean rodeo suit works as advertised.

[seascape27]

New seacycle arrived and it's just a bit different so Ross has to re-build the whole system from start.

Letting my OCD run things today. Massive organizational effort...

[seascape27]

I would like to take a brief moment and send a juicy FuckYou to Harken, for designing the fucking worst furler ever. Your so-called torque rope is about as stiff as 90 year old dick, the drum doesn't work and the whole thing is practically fucking useless, unless you have 6 crewmen operating it in perfect lab conditions. I wasted two days trying to make this work. Go back and redesign this and stop selling shit that is not ready... I'm not your fucking test department

New A5! From Ballard sails. Whooo, reach for speed!

In the galley the galley so low... Seascape kindly donated a super light weight galley. (how else it's seascape after all), so we can boil water without setting the boat on fire... Thanks!

Total boat building OCD/porn. The EFOY fuel cell packed in with 2.5 gallons of pure methanol next to it. That baby produces 170 Amps per day. Connected to two Firefly batteries 220A gives me total of 14 days of power. All fits like a glove under the steps. Also, did I just turn my boat to an alcoholic?

[seascape27]

Out with the old and in with more power. That little battery on the step was about a day of power for the boat. The two new ones pack 220Ah - that's four times as much as the old one.

Power to the Boat! Lots of work done this week on the electric system. New awesome batteries going in and to charge these a fuelcell. How cool is that!!!
