Haha, oh dear, the site can be difficult to navigate at times, fortunately we're currently reassessing it so it shouldn't be like that for too long. Here's the URL for it http://www.reviewcentre.com/forum231.html, and when i say dead, i mean really dead! If you cud give it a kick start and recruit a few other people that fish that'd be great!
Looks like a nice boat Druid (seems similar to a play boat on google images) mines an all-rounder too i think, or at least i think it is! I went down a swollen stream near where i live last night, it was excellent, more bouncing down the stream than kayakin but a lot of fun all the same.
I got 404'd on that link Aussie Boy....

That's quality! Be interesting to see the combined effects of gravity and a jet engine, it would get messy! I had to watch it without sound with the whole being at work issue but i'll watch it again at home. Hmmmmm..........i want one!

Flippin Nora!!
Tomorrows weather forcast is `dry`.
I`ll spell that for you D R Y.
For those of you here in the UK who have forgotten what that feels like, it`s like when you can go out out of the house without having to wear a full skuba diving kit.
Better get the sun cream out too!? Cos they`re forcasting a `Sweltering`
19 degrees centigrade
I of course have a perfectly good Kayak
and will be therefore be looking forward to Thursday when `Yet MORE Rain` is predicted
BTW. AB "How`s the `Winter` weather in Qld today?!

Haha, i too will be looking forward to more rain too, all the water levels have dropped to a pitiful level where i live. I went on a little expedition on sunday and it was the barely more eventful than pottering about in the canal!
Kayaking, redefining perception of the weather....
