Well, that didn't work

I meant to rest and get home early and eat a meal and sleep..... I got the meal.

Right after I wrote the last post, I let my mind wander a bit and after a couple turns through a few gardens of thought, I ended up on my prop blades.  So, I thought I would just do a little research on diameters and pitch and so on- nothing physical, just food for thought- and a few minutes later I was working on my prop blades.  When I left a couple hours later, I had a test blade and a couple of experiments going to test adhesives and the strength of my foam.
I'm bad about that... then it got worse.
I did make myself some food, but I ate it while making section views of my hull so I would be able to cut the pieces more accurately while maximizing my yield.  Another hour or so, and I decided to get a rest.... by designing the control lever and a different seat.

This may be a sign of a problem, but it might also be that I am motivated to make this thing work.  I should blame my procrastinating nature (I keep procrastinating on taking a break) but I am going to blame a picture I saw of a pedal powered boat pulling a water skier.  I'm not joking.

oddly, he seems to be a Canadian

I find this pretty inspiring, but I don't know what he's got in that thing.  The hull is certainly wider and shorter than mine will be, but his prop mechanism is much different.  I am closer to the surface, so my prop will be much smaller in diameter, but will grab more water.  Not sure how it will work, but I am not trying to ski, I just want to go fast.

Anyway, this is a long way of telling you what I am up to and that I am still working.  Keep the faith, stay the course, and the finish line will come.
