The Happy Adventure has a new 9.9 yamaha high-thrust. It is
amazing. Hull speed at 6 mph is achieved with 2000 rpm. The quiet,
efficient and cost effective cruising is a joy. It seems to have
brakes in reverse and handles like a car. Slow is the way to go
when you are always home.
I received my Transport Canada hull identification plate and am
cleared for 6 passengers. Due to the length (5.95M) and 9.9 motor,
no licence is required under the regulations. I had the police do a
courtesy check on the water and all he said was any one spending
this kind of effort to build a boat is not going to be a problem,
wished me well and asked a lot of quesions about life on board.
The happy adventure (I monitor channel 68) will be cruising the
Rideau River and canal system
http://www.rideau-info.com/canal/
ending up at the Kingston messabout for some wine and cheese
diplomacy. Hope to see you there, Paul - in a wonderful world of
boating thanks to Phil Bolger and Friends along with a lot of his
disciples in this group.
The days in the moaning chair are over, now to the groaning chair.
