Dave, I can't get Gail to come down by the pond to take pictures when it is 40 degrees and breezy. The barge is prettier without me blocking the view, anyway! \:\)

I haven't tested the anchor yet.

Stick, Top speed with both thrusters on full is 3.2 mph. Top speed with the front thruster alone is 2.5 mph. That was against a 5-8 mph breeze. It looks like for most purposes the rear thruster will be idle, as expected.

It leaves a wake at full power, though a wide shallow one. I didn't notice any plowing, not much of a load to get her down in the water very far. Handling with that same light load is what I would call barge-agile.
