At Last I have a kayak

At last the boat has arrived. What a beauty. Unfortunately it missed the big boat (known as a ship to seafarers (apparently a ship is something you can fit a boat on not vice versa)) but it is being packed on the next one and will arive in the Falklands a few days after we do ne'er mind!!!

I fitted an electric bilge pump as you can see by the video but it is with difference. The battery pack is solar powered and has attached a battery recharger for AA's, AAA's and cigarette lighter. Main p0wer is from a 12v 5AH battery. We have power!!!

I can sea-test it in The Falklands, lovely! (it may be worth noting the large padded comfy seat in my kayak, maaan that looks comfortable)

I have also devised a cunning locking system for the kayak which attaches to my decking, back garden and ultimately the very bedrock I live on so unless some smarty pants wants the whole of the earths crust with my kayak....
