I have a boat! Or shall I say, the project has a
boat! The green machine (the canoe) is awesome, but is more to be used for
survey days, where the bulk of the trapping equipment isn’t needed, whereas the
boat is big enough for 4 adults and equipment, albeit at a push! It is a rubber
duck with a detachable HOW BIG motor and is not made for speed, but she’ll do
the trick to get us to the other side and back safely. Her maiden voyage was
successful despite initial motor trouble, we got her started and everyone went
for a ride, and she managed to take Shane, Mark and myself across to the
peninsula in some choppy waves, nice! And I got to drive! Since we were there
we took a quick walk about and saw the black swan that hangs out with the
gulls, and ever mindful of my project I collected another 17 regurgitated
pellets, one with a creative touch of blue ribbon! The one downside to the boat
is that it is heavy, and two girls will not be able to get it onto the canopy
of my bantam which does restrict its use somewhat.. But all in all I am super
stoked about the boat, now all she needs is a name!
