Your writing style reminds me very much of ‘The Catcher In the Rye’ and really gave me a good laugh. I can relate a bit as I just bought an 11-foot Sea Eagle raft last week and got fixated on eventually sailing down the Hudson with my kids on a multi-day journey. I’ve been googling like crazy and finding practically zilch on the subject until I typed in, 20 minutes ago, ’solar powered raft’.
I have some questions: Is there any reason you didn’t build some kind of cover to protect yourself from the rain and sun? And why aren’t you wearing a life-preserver in the photos?
Anyway, I hope that one day you’ll try again!

Dallas,

You had the courage to try again – good for you. Although the trip didn’t turn out quite like you had planned, at least you gave it a shot. I am proud of you.
