Added 2026-02-14 16:27:15 +0000 UTCIn this episode we make it to the entrance of the Panama Canal, sailing past crocodiles and container ships along the way, and then I get to work replacing one of Tally Ho's hybrid motors.

Capt. Leo, Per usual, great job. Hard to believe it's been so many years following you, Slainte!

2026-02-14 22:58:35 +0000 UTCIf I recall correctly, doesn't the system have a feature to recharge under sail by letting the prop turn from that forward motion? Does that actually work in practice or not very useful? I am assuming it still needs the electric motors working for that as well.
