I used that distance analogy because it's I knew it was something that most would understand. To just say there's a "learning curve" is putting out an abstract concept, kind of like saying A+B=CxD in a math formula. Getting the boat on the water for the first time would be like traveling from Sydney to Adelaide. While the whole trip to Perth is roughly 5100Km and 55 hours, getting to Adelaide is only 1950 Km and 22.5 hours. The other 3150Km and 32.5 hours would be the time and work needed for testing props, dialing in the balance, setting turn fin and thrust angles, etc. Getting back to the distance and time, the wife and I went the same distance as the coastal run from Sydney to Perth in four days of travel time last year going from Seattle to Phoenix to Dallas to Memphis to Huntsville Alabama. By the time we got home, we had gone to Atlanta Georgia(our actual destination) and then home by travelling across the middle of the country and travelled a total of 10,500Km.
