Solar sailing down the Fraser almost making power. Coming back upstream was interesting as we had to make prop for 50 amps a side so 100amps minus solar so 85amp deficit more or less to obtain our 7km/h upstream against probably 5 knots of current.

It was a pretty good eye opener as to what needed to be tied down better on the boat after we hit the first 8' roller around Stevenston. The laptop went flying off the center table and water washed over the top of the boat. We quickly turned around realizing this is not the correct time to be ebbing out into the Pacific.
All in all a great trip 17nm and everything worked as expected. Lots of battery left after roughly two hours dong 85amp output. Were able to turn and point into current and just overall lots of control over the boat when needed to avoid flotsam or adjust for current.
