I won my Ebay kayak.
What a job though. I've been to Coniston today on a steamer and no way would I be back for 3.15pm when the auction ends.
So as the wife likes tea rooms I found a nice one on the side of the lake - a cyber cafe ;)
Jumped off the boat, postcode in satnav, 25 mins to go 4 miles, sorted :)
Not! :( Miss bloody daisy at 15 mph at best took 20 mins to get to location, lost phone signal after 5 mins, but still on track :)
Not! :( Country post codes and satnav >:( Now I'm stuck up a muddy lane with no chance.
So we ran to the lake, got a signal, I bid via my mobile whilst my wife phoned the teenager next door to steal it with 32 seconds to go :o
What a day :y :)

Well I only bought it to commute to work in. These Omega's are crap in the snow.
This is my house in winter ;D

You've got it all wrong Mark. You use a kayak for travelling on water and a sled for the snow.

I like to be in the game myself. Then slap in a huge bid in the dying seconds.
It's fun and stressful at the same time.
I think I'm an adrenalin junkie :-[

I was saying to the wife last weekend, I spent almost 30 years in Chester and knew it like the back of my hand, but I haven't been to look around the place for over 10 years (I go to Sealand Road and Saltney weekly) and I miss it. She said we will have to spend a weekend there soon although I only live 20 miles away we will stay over and have a few to many beers ::)

It's a WW kayak. Dagger Juice. Supposedly comfy for bigger river trips and 10 gallons more boyant than my Inazone, so should keep me afloat a little longer.
AA - No, I still haven't found a silver one :(
