So today we put both the throttles down on the Ray controllers and were calmly pushing 100 amps a side on the motors and moving along at 6.64 knots according to my OpenCpn. Here is the track for google earth or back to opencpn if you like to compare numbers otherwise the AIS track here >> http://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/shipid:3824576/zoom:10
Or mission today was attempting to get the autopilot functioning and we failed in that respect but still had a great 3.6 hours on the water.

That was the best footage we could get today for some reason. Not sure why the autopilot doesn't work as designed but it must be software or it may have been mechanical as at the end of the trip we discovered a bolt had come undone on the connecting rod between the two motors.
