Motor Vessel Vassal!

S/V Sovereign is now properly served by the T/T Vassal. I found a 2006 Tohatsu 5hp outboard. A bit more power than the little dink needs, and it does push the bow up quite a bit, but it's in great shape. Even came with a manual!

Looks a bit big from this angle.



A better perspective on the size. That's Professor Bob's excellent RIB next to her.


Been years since I handled an outboard, and the little hard dink is a bit unstable. But we'll get used to it. So, another small step towards independence!
