When I’m stuck somewhere, I’ll try to work out how to post Micro Thruster photos. All good so far on the Clockwise Great Loop. About to go up some of the Mississippi over the next three days.

Fantastic responses - particularly rogerbum - thank you all again. I’ve had some luck: I did some research online and discovered a Dutch company that focuses on water-propelled thrusters (on boats of up to 60 feet). Think jet ski technology. They’ve just come out with their new “Micro” which...

Keep it coming; I really appreciate everyone’s comments so far. Thank you!

I’ve moved up from my 22 Cruiser (single Yamaha 90) to a 25 Cruiser (single Suzuki 200) which - surprising to me - I’m finding more difficult to “control”. I’m thinking of installing a thruster of some kind to help with slips/fuel docks/lock walls, etc. Has anyone had a thruster installed (bow...

Sometime next year I will be setting off on The Great Loop, and therefore passing through a number of states. Is there anything like a "national" fishing licence, or does one need to buy a separate, individual licence for each state? Thank you!

I would welcome advice from those of you who have done long trips, maybe even The Great Loop. I'm about to buy a 22 Cruiser and would welcome people's comments on whether I should have any of the following extras: A kicker engine in case the main one stops for any reason. If a kicker, what's...

Thanks, Charlie - much appreciated.
