Ordered the 3.5 Tohatsu

In Response To: strong winds and currents (Jay Levy - Indianapolis, IN 5.2 #35)

You asked how far from shore...

Not very.

The issue that has my brother more concerned was going into canals straight against a strong wind. He has zilch experience with BW Harpoons. So I pretty much dismissed his concerns but thought that before I got a I-told-you-so, I'd check with this panel of experts.

Many thanks again.

I'll post a report on my experience with the Tohatsu to add to Jeff's when I have had a chance to experience using it.
