ROCKFISH. (The 60 second musical fishing report)

https://youtu.be/NOeHb57oL80?si=M7Fhzt231b7LAHoc

It took me a little over two weeks to finally post on this thread and in that time I made ANOTHER trip to the Cape with Eric.  So you know, retired music professor, ex-rock-n-roll guy ...  Here's my musical rendition of two Rockfish expeditions at the Cape with Eric, Terry (on the 22nd) and Tom (on the 31st)

Turn it up really loud.  And use BIG speakers or good headphones.

Rock on angling dudes and dudettes.

Hi everyone,
Thinking of getting out this week some where for Halibut and or Rockfish.
Weather actually looks reasonable this next week.

Thinking of Doran of maybe Ft Ross or ???

Might even do Half Moon Bay??? Looking for a buddy or two as I dont like going out in Big Blue alone.

Could do anytime this week.

Bambu Slicer is easy and straight forward to use with plenty of options to get really advanced with the control should you decide you want to.

The print profiles all work right out of the box and I haven't found the need to tune anything to get acceptable prints, though I'm sure if I wanted to I could do a deep dive and get slightly improved results.

If you're looking at designing your own custom prints you'll have to figure out what CAD or 3D modeling software you'd like to use, Blender being a decent open source free option. There's also I believe a free version of Fusion360 if you want something a little more focused on industrial design. Really any 3D software should be able to kick out .STL models that can be fed into the slicer for a 3D printer, it just depends on what works for you. I primarily use Cinema4D since that's what I'm already familiar with.

One thing I would suggest budgeting for is a filament dryer. The most common filaments used in FDM printing are all hygroscopic (absorb water from the air) and that can negatively effect print quality, sometimes to the point of failure. I use https://www.amazon.com/Official%E3%80%913D-Filament-Adjustable-Temperature-Compatible/dp/B0BKFMZQHB?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=APCUBABSTSRDE since it was one of the few dryers that seemed like it cycled air, though there are lots of options out there.

That looks very similar to my Pelican branded drive. How long is your kayak?

You can loosen the drive cables a 1/4 turn or so and they will get easier to pedal, but won't necessarily make you go any faster unless you pedal faster.

I would hit it with some anti grease and a dry lubricant like hobie suggests.

Hit these moving parts Ive highlighted, I have an older v2 with similar fins I think you have turbos already. But you could check there is an amazon seller selling that model of fin in turbo (without the masts). You should be going faster then 1mph, I can push my outback 3mph pretty easily with mine.
