You were really partially sinking? What's going on with that?

Once I put the BF in the front hatch it lowered my center of gravity and made me a bit more stable, albeit lowriding. Still I'd rather have the prowler out there. You can see in the video, when I stop paddling I just keep gliding for another 100 feet. Multiply that over 12hrs and that's a lot of energy savings. So smooth and efficient. The rudder also makes a big difference when paddling diagonally to the swell, especially downhill. |

A very rare day.
A kayaker catching tuna and YT, I wonder how many boaters were wishing they could sell their boat when they saw you with that load..... Major props.
