Well we have no one capsizing yet. Shame we have 2 places spare that no one wants to fill. Tracy was getting a tow but she’s mastered it now.

Neilfg loved the look of your kayacat and we have decided to get a couple of the cougars (the ones with the sails) - not only because of the sails but also because the cougars come with rudders. Expensive for a couple of balloons with a seat and a sail but I think we would use them whereas we haven't used the small kayaks we bought 18 months ago as they were too much of a step down from our big touring kayaks. The kayacat would be a much more practical craft.

 

[Puddleduck]

Sorry we had to leave early, neither of us was feeling too well. Also apologies for not being sociable - it's been a rough few months.

Thank you Sandra irnbru for your great organisation skills and all the effort put into making this rally "a go".

xx

 

[irnbru]

Was great to see you both. Look after yourselves and will hopefully see you next weekend.@ Puddleduck.

Dinner time in the pub.

 

[Puddleduck]

Martin now asleep in his armchair. Time to wake him and send him to bed

Well it was an expensive weekend as we have now ordered a HUD (Brendan ) and the kayacats. We have saved money by not going for the leveling system or air suspension though

What is a hud?

 

[Brendan]

It's a Head Up Display Sandra.
In this case a GPS based version giving a clear view of your speed, unlike the Ducato dash.

Looking forward to getting the sailing kayaks They say 2 weeks so we will have to find somewhere safe to test them out when we get them. I think the duck pond might be too small.

I think the duck pond might be too small.

what about the river tweed , I think it was where you took me for a paddle .

Looks great Sandra, nice to see some Kayakers out, who was it that got out and then let their Kayak blow away Love the drone footage

Martin

 

[irnbru]

who was it that got out and then let their Kayak blow away

Haha that was Jay aka DP+Jay. She got stuck and needed a hand out.

Unfortunately my video camera battery was flat so some of the kayaking was filmed on mobile. Not great quality by the time its gone to youtube.

Tim took the drone footage. I was doing the "Golden Shot" Left a bit, up a bit , turn it round haha
