A pleasant Labor Day Weekend afternoon with new and old friends at the historic site of Flathead Lake’s old StanCraft boat making facility — now a home with a massive industrial dock, 5 barges, and a whole lot of storage space.

We “pushed the envelope” with our new e-boat technology and traveled to and from Flathead Lake’s beautiful Wild Horse Island with battery power (aka unicorn power) alone. No speed barriers were broken. In fact, we went sloooow enough to smell the wild roses.

Don’t tell anyone, but we traveled for 2 hours without seeing a single boat (and we can see at least six miles on this vast body of freshwater). And this, on a Saturday in mid-June with ideal, calm, relatively warm conditions.
