There's no playbook that we're following, and while we've put tons of time and research into designing all our systems, you can't fight reality. Just because everything "should" work doesn't mean it will. And in this week's episode we hit one of our first snags in our propulsion system. We've been getting a lot of questions around the complexity of some of our systems, and I think this is a great example of what that looks like in reality. We actually love this process, and we enjoy the challenge and the problem solving. We're trying to pull off some pretty ambitious stuff, and when it works, there's no greater feeling. And when it doesn't work, well that just means it's time to try something different. The build is definitely more about the journey than the destination, and obstacles like this are what's gonna help us build an even better boat than we could have imagined! We hope you enjoy this one, and definitely let us know what you think in the comments below. Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/b1p18nIhSvk

With the tank repaired and the rain ceased we went in search of some fresh drinking water. Hiking up hills and rough terrain we find a suitable spring. With the help of some of the village kids, we do multiple trips to carry the water back to the kayak. Undoubtedly overloaded with 70L of water per trip and windy wavy seas, we just make it back to the boat before the kayak is completely under.
