Woke up yesterday to 24o (C) clear sky, no wind so swmbo & I loaded up the boat, threw the dog in and went out to catch a fish and have a swim.
Great day, caught a small feed of herring, swmbo & the dog ("Maggie" Red Cloud Kelpie) went for a swim and I sat on the beach with a beer and admired the boat. Still can't believe I built the thing!
Bimini suits the boat very well, its light, strong and easy to close or open.
Came back to the ramp, fisheries inspectors were checking every boat for their catch, got to us and just wanted to know about the design and build! Another Bateau bonus.
Cheers
