has he managed to get a tow back yet ?
Hydraulic drive is probably not the best system for his use , and i suspect he did not do a lengthy proving run !

I just saw he had to abandon 'ship' - subsequently after a search Amphibear was recovered by a vehicle with crane/ deck space - he is very fortunate.

Hes been very lucky this time , needs to have a big rethink on what he is trying to achieve , solo amphib round the world looks like not being in the reach of his particular set up, I was a little surprised that his vehicle dimensions didn't get him into trouble on his road trip thru europe. JMHO

Looks like he has had to abandon the project , as the replacement pontoon supplier has taken fright !
He obviously sees more risk in the idea than the guy doing it , probably done him a big favour JMHO

We're waiting for him to reach Bermuda. Apparently he has lost his rudder and is heading here for repairs. His friend is flying in to help him with the repairs once he makes land-fall. Record-chasing Doba heading to Bermuda | The Royal Gazette:Bermuda News

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
