Once again I bought it on the Buy Now option like I did with The Old Girl's one last week.
A few weeks ago I was watching a nice one but dithered and someone else bought it on the Buy Now option. With The Old Girl's one, as I have an alert set on the Trade Me site I bought it within about a minute of it being listed. The seller had put a Buy Now price of $200 and I think regretted it.
With my one, the yellow one, I checked on-line and discovered that the Buy Now price with the extras was way less than half the NZ advertised price (new) so I'm pleased with that.
I've been missing my old kayak that I sold before going to Canada so it'll be good to get back into a serious one with a rudder. This one is all kitted out for fishing. It is a two-man one but will operate really well as a single. The extras include a couple of top of the line, adjustable paddles, an anchor, detachable rod holders and an electronic fish finder *(hence the Cheating title of this post).
I will probably have to take up fishing now that I've bought this but it is stable and with the anchor and rod holders it should be a breeze. There's lots of snapper out in the bay in front of the house.

Somehow it just doesn't seem rigt - having one man in a two man boat. Are you allowed to take a lady onboard?
What!
Women crew are bad luck.
Didn't your father teach you anything?
Well, I remember that there were always calendars with scantily clad women in the engine room; where he spent most of his time.
Well done. It has a raised prow too for cutting through the waves, the old girl will by digging into them and desperately trying to go in a straight line. See I know about kayaks!
Though I could be wrong.
I've taken it out a couple of times.
I risked the ancient bad luck curse and took The Old Girl out with me the first time. Curses! She chose to sit in the back because as she said "I don't trust you Matey. I want to make sure that you are paddling" As if.
I went out on my own the second time and it handles really well. I'll have to dust off the fishing rods.
