Annapolis Sailboat Show

Attended the Annapolis Sailboat Show (http://www.usboat.com/us-sailboat-show/home), and looked at the newest offering from the world's manufactures of boats, boating gear, and stuff you will never need.  One vendor, Torqeedo from Germany http://www.torqeedo.com/us/hn/products/travel-503-1003.html, was displaying their line of electric outboard motors.  We have been discussing going electric to replace/augment our noisy, messy, gas powered 1998 Mercury 3.3 outboard.  My concern was the wiring requirements to charge the battery between usage.  The system is well thought out, and all of my concerns were alleviated.  We will soon have an electric outboard on our EBay dinghy.

By-the-way, the young lady was selling a gizmo to keep your beer can from sliding off surfaces.  I did my part to support the economy.
