New Toy :)

The Carolina 12 is 3.6m long and weighs about 23kg, it has a front and rear hatch for storage and is supposed to be a great entry level touring boat. Whee!

YAY!!

How lovely! Are you planning on paddling today? 'cause we're hitting the river at Pt Walter for some sailing/paddling.

[samvara]

\o/ Alas, I have uni stuff - which given how lovely the day is, is a crime.

Sweet!

That is a very sweet looking boat. Does she have internal bulkheads?

And, most importantly, does she have a name yet?

I hope you can join us on the water sometime!

Re: Sweet!

[samvara]

Bulkheads - yes! Apparently she's good for 2-day camping trips! No name, I am pondering and I would love to join you on the water sometime :)

Re: Sweet!

[rdm]

If you can camp for two days with her, then you're good for a week, IMHO.

We'll keep you posted about our upcoming boatings - Penguin Is is pencilled in for next Sunday, depending on the winds.

*g* so I made it out for a quick test paddle up the Canning River and she's a lovely little boat.

Sunday may not be possible, I have a meeting with my uni group for our assignment but I'd love to come paddling and I'll keep my eyes open :)

er, can i come along to penguin island on my very crappy wave-ski wot has no storage? i might have to ask someone to carry water for me. can bribe with chocolate or equiv.

Re: Sweet!

[rdm]

You are more than welcome to join us on any of our expeditions! And we have *lots* of storage - both wet and dry. No bribery needed.

What sort of wave-ski?

Re: Sweet!

[rabbit1080]

Thanks! I'll send you my contact details.

My wave-ski is a short, surf-type one. Looks a bit like this http://www.summerportdistributorsllc.com/RTM%20-%20Slide%20Master.jpg

Wheeee!!!!!!

(btw, does it have a rudder?)

[samvara]

\o/

No rudder - and I need to buy a skirt - touring or whitewater - choices!
