Flying this route out of #London is a great opportunity to study the very first part of our route for [GB Row]: the #RiverThames and #ThamesEstuary! 🕙 Setting off from Tower Bridge at the top of the tide, we'll have six hours to get as far as we can on the evening of 9th June before the tide turns against us, probably somewhere around Tilbury after we pass under the #M25 at the QE2 Bridge. As it'll be #springtides, and the adverse tide will run faster than we can row, we'll probably need to find a spot at the edge of the river to #anchor up ⚓️ for a few hours around here. While most the focus is on challenges we'll face at #sea, just *getting there* carries significant risks - especially when you're facing backwards. There are jetties and pontoons that stick out into the river, huge metal mooring #buoys, lots of traffic that graduates fast from city boats and river taxis to #containerships coming in and out of Tilbury or London Gateway ports. We need to be absolutely prepared and alert during this section: 🧭 Making sure we're in the right part of the river 👀 Keeping a lookout at all times for #vessels, objects and infrastructure in the water 📢 Listening to the correct VHF #radio channels in each segment of the river so we can respond quickly to instructions ⚠️ Being aware of shallow areas as the water drops towards #lowtide and #darkness sets in for that first night🌙. #routeplanning #navigation #expedition #adventure #oceanrowing #GBrowchallenge #seachangerow #planning #aerialview #shipping #navigatingthethames #day1 [PLA

REGENT, a US based manufacturer of seagliders, has recently bagged an order for 27 Battery powered of its Virecoy seagliders. The order, from Florida-based UrbanLink Air Mobility, aims to improve connectivity between the cities of Miami, Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico. "Under the agreement, UrbanLink will operate REGENT’s flagship Viceroy seagliders, 12-passenger vessels that can travel up to 180 miles on a single charge." It will be interesting to see things develop on these fronts: 1. The necessary charging infrastructure. 2. Whether they can effectively attract some travellers who may otherwise use air travel between the two cities. 3. Whether the seagliders can double as transport for relief supplies in the aftermath of a natural disaster like a hurricaine. Would you take a ride in one of them? Feel free to comment below.

A few more observations on the Santa Cruz XRT. The step rails are not necessary and actually hinder egress and ingress. Rock rail are the real solution which offer protection to the lower structure while still giving a “cool” off road look. Upgrade the tire to a more aggressive off road version. An “adventure vehicle” needs to be able confidently “adventure”.
