No rain but a demo day 25/4/09

Still no rain but there is some on the horizon so don't dispair all you boaters out there, we'll be on the water soon. Due to the evenings getting longer it could be an evening paddle.

Up and under had a demo day today with all the major boat suppliers. You could pick almost any boat you could think of in production today and have a go on the Ely. I tried a couple of play boats, and impressed with happy feet from Jackson kayaks, bought them. Looking forward to trying it out soon in the Juice.

Saw loads of people I know and had a chat to Hywel at the end. Very interesting, it turns out that more people know Hywel, than Hywel actually knows. He was struggling with a sea kayak beast of a boat (what else, there were loads there - he was in his element!), when he thought he saw a stranger nearby. That was until the -stranger- turned to him and said, "Do you want a hand with that Hywel?"...

See you on the water,
Phil
