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

Meanwhile this amazing old guy has nearly paddled (not sailed) a sort of kayak the long way across the Atlantic.

Currently stuck near Bermuda.

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
