I didn't know you had a boat Tim?

I might add that there are more easy to use anchors these days.

OK, now I'm depressed... If Jeff doesn't think it's worth a go, then it probably isn't! :( (maybe I should use it for target practice...?)

Only joking Tim! Don't be sad.
I know you haven't got a boat.

Strewth, a matching pair! Maybe from the same seller?

I thinks it's 'shiber me timbers'?
Those timbers will need a lot of shibbering! :lol:

WANT! Just put the bike on the boat and push it off to the East. I'll paddle out on my longboard to meet it, and send you PayPal when I get back to shore.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

Thanks for the offer Melville, but you really don't want to "sink" any more money in this project...

I have a vision of all the as-cast surfaces shimmering with a black stove enamel, like a Vincent. A little blingtastic treatment of all the smooth alu parts, and mechanical work as needs. I could probably have it done in less than 5 years, this go-round.
