Pretty cool. Guessing will be perfect for island hopping instead of using boat taxis

Show me the real thing instead of a CG cartoon and then I'll take notice.

Oh, and ask them to lose the kindergarten level background tune.

How do they do in 3-4 ft seas? How about 10ft?

Not great, Bob.

That thing is searching for a problem to solve.

We took a hovercraft across the English Channel.  It was pretty brutal.  I suppose it was faster than a surface craft, maybe it was less brutal, but it was rough.  A goodly number of people chundering.

Too bad we missed our hydrofoil reservation to cross the Channel in 2018. That would’ve been an interesting experience.

Yeah, my daughter lives in Newquay and is a cool gadget "shiny object" geek for things like the hovercraft.  She finally got to cross the Channel in one and her only comment was, "never again".

Meh.  Harrison Ford's being flying like this for years.

Not nearly as interesting as your grandson’s experience at Normandy.

I've witnessed this mass chundering myself.

Went on the hovercraft on one trip and through the chunnel on another. Won't ever go again on anything but the chunnel.
