We need some help!

Harbour trials went great! The boat performed better than we anticipated - more speed & tighter turning thanks to our added bow thruster.

Very cool to be gliding across the Charlottetown Harbour…silently.

Special thanks to our captains Craig Avery & Al Goodwin & boat builder extraordinaire, Dave Morley, for taking the time to help us on this important holiday.

The noise is from the cargo ship in the background and the little boat we are towing was for just in case we ran into trouble on the water. It was not needed ;)

More tests next week & then the Isola Solaretto will be put away until May 2023 when we will take passengers on daily cruises! www.ridesolar.com
