And Mrs D met me at the door - rolling pin in hand saying - "is it my imagination or is that a DIFFERENT CANOE on top of the car?"

Yes dear - but Graeme said I needed one - honest - and he gaver me a massive discount - 10% for CWAV, !0% for SOTP, 50% for being a really nice chap and another 10% for being a TEAM member!Tongue

( just as well she didn't notice the £700 air bags I bought at the same time really!)Whistle

But honestly - a real big thank you to Graeme (and Heather) for the time and advice and for being another really nice chap!(and chapess!)

after a lot of thought about displacement - cash flow and grumpy woman waiting at home I went for the venture prospector 16 - it kinda fits - if you now what I mean?

and Mrs D has just sat in it with a smile on her face and passed me a cutting she took from the paper about canoe trips in Norfolk!

things might be looking up!

I'm very excited - now just need to figure out how to get away solo!

photo's when I get the camera sorted!

Hi Ric

Congratulations on the new boat.

There will be a few of us paddling in Norfolk next month, 9th to 16 June.

Why not bring your new boat and the wife along to join us.

TerrySmile
Thanks Terry
unfortunately we're already booked to go to Scotland to visit friends - but I'm thinking of making a detour to find some water if the weather is nice - sadly Norfolk would be too much of a detour that weekend. but plans will be made!

Ric
Nice boat Ric and congratulations Smile

Yep that Graeme's not a bad bloke really, I much prefer looking at Heather though Tongue
I hope SWMBO doesn't read that.... scare

Cheers

Hmmm that came across a bit pervy didn't it ?
Not if you were following other threads!Cool

Deeper understanding comes with age and meeting the mountain in person grasshopper!Wink

Either you've met her or her reputation has gone before her - if you haven't met her, be very very frightened - I told her what a nice guy you are and how much of a good influence on me - she used to think I only mix with people having a mid life crisis who drink a lot! but now she thinks I've joined a new scout group with the moral and ethical value of saintsTongue

Now she wants to meet you all and is thinking of coming to a CWAV eventmad and I thought you were my excuse for a quiet weekend away!

LOL.....Big Grin.... I'd best not turn up at your's, on the bike, with 'the boys', after a night's wild camping, for an Irish Coffee, then.... Gotta keep my Halo intact.... Rolleyes

Shewie, I wouldn't worry about it, we'd all rather look at 'H' than Graeme (Love him as we do), I was more worried that the 'Shuttle Bunny' would see it.... Exclamation

Cheers

You're welcome any time - I'm sure she didn't believe me anyway!
