Three Boats and One "Bird"

This Saturday we tried the boat on Big Bear lake. In the test we used two kayaks, one small boat, and a quad-copter.  The boat did not do very good - it was way out of balance (huge weather helm) and steering without any feedback and any indication of the rudder position was too hard to keep the boat on course. But overall it was fun, entertaining, and useful. There are no problems we could not fix. The next series of tests will be focused on balancing the boat.
