aah... ha ha ,now that's not fair. Josh has a petrol outboard that he can refill . I've got an electric outboard that I can't- (unless you've got a very long extension cable). So I'm always wary of running out of power and never turn down a tow. The book says with 2 new batteries I can get 1 hr at 4 knots and 10 hrs at 2knots but the batteries are 4 yrs old so I don't like to risk it especially over 4 days. I am planning on getting a solar panel to top up the batteries though. Thanks again for watching, cheers Paul

I empathise with the boat launch. The first time I put the Pamela B in the water after Pam died I felt my feet start to slide and it all seemed to be in slow motion. I thought “I’m going to go right under here” and almost in slow motion under I went and I ended up flat on my back about 18 inches underwater. Didn’t crack my skull fortunately. I made so little splash that not a single one of the 30 or so people around the ramp noticed until I walked past the dripping wet. Pam had only died about 4 days earlier and for the next few hours all I could hear was her screaming laughing.
