Maybe on calm lake, but we're talking ocean here. Electric motors suck at sea... not enough torque to handle conditions.

@ what's up electric motors have far greater torque than diesel have. and no they dont such at seas many boats will use electric motors since they are far superior in power to weight ratio and you can stick them anywhere you want. and dont forget submarines. and dont forget special solar powered catamarans than went around the world just fine but yes batteries are still problematic. having small solar panel just to power some electronics is good idea but you would need really lots of those to power any meaningful motor. actually more than you have space for.

Hi Jeff. In tracking the OOCL Atlanta it appears you left Charleston and are heading through the Suez Canal heading into the Red Sea. Have a safe trip.

Very cool. I always wondered what the inside of those lifeboats looked like. I wonder why they don't include a hand pumped water maker. Drinkable water is something you can never have to much of. The little hand pump units aren't exactly efficient but in a survival situation, the ability to make 4 or 5 liters of fresh water in an hour or so could be a life saver.

Surprisingly we actually have toilets in our cabins, kinda like the ones you get on aeroplanes with the powerful suction flushers. All human waste onboard is transferred to the ship's sewage treatment plant in the engine room. Chemicals are used to break it down into "smaller chunks" and remove bacteria and get rid of the brown colour. Once this process is complete it results in a clean clear liquid which is then used as drinking water for the crew ;D
