This boat showed up in our marina last night, enroute from Savannah to Nova Scotia, more or less. It's like a stinkpot version of our sailFar craft. :D She's the "Gator 3", and here are a couple of links to newspaper stories about her and her capt/crew.
Paul Fisher is the older fellow, and the other, Michael, is his grandson.

Rock on, old man!
I prefer sail; but I will not hold that against him. It's the adventure that counts. What the heck, I'd like to do something like this is a steam powered boat, ala African Queen. It would make a good story!
This must be the first inflatable with radar.
I've got to say Godspeed to these gents. This is really cool.
That they are both smiling says it all.
