Well with Dave agreeing to terms and a shake of hands today at lunchtime I got my new Kayak.

After selling off my 2 single Kayaks, name and brand withheld for fear of ongoing mental torture. I have done the deal with Peril and if all goes according to plan. I shall pick up the big Yak on Wednesday night. I cant wait to get her on the Bay in a few weeks and give that first report that I looked so forward to giving last time. I feel reborn, albiet a little wiser.
Thanks to all for their support over the last month :wink:

Hooray Russ, back in action. Great to see that Peril is staying in the family. (AKFF family). Peril are we still allowed to call you Peril? Russ you may have to rename her to avoid confusion. Steve.

HI RUSS
I USE A TAMPO 1 AND SOMETIMES THE KIDS IN THE WELLS NEVER LOOKED LIKE GOING OVER AND THE TAMPO 2 IS EVEN MORE STABLE. SO GOOD LUCK WITH IT THEY ARE A GOOD SHIP . I LOVE THEM FOR FISHING
SEE YA MILAN

 

[Russ]

Your right Steve :lol: After talkin with the family tonight about a new name for the big tub we could'nt decide.

Then it came to me

Tug Boat

So with Dave's pending approval I will rename her,

AKFF..TugBoat

[Peril]

Don't need my approval Russ.

My next yak will be called P2, and will be yellow. Won't say any more until Sunday.

Russ
Good to hear your news in buying a proven performer, and that one probably knows the way to the fishing in some locations :wink:

Dave
Good to hear you are following sequential numbers in the new yaks name; always have regarded that as a good tradition on the water

 

[Davey G]

Well done to both Russ and Dave. Russ, good to see that you have a family friendly yak that youll be able to fit all your kids and their mates upon.

And good onya Dave for keeping Peril in the AKFF fold. Will be interested to see what P2 is!

Looking forward to the first trip report from both yaks!

OK Russ, why 'tugboat'? - or don't we want to know.....

OK Russ, why 'tugboat'? - or don't we want to know.....

eeeuuuuwwwww. now I've got a bad mental image happening.

I'm hoping that TUGBOAT is because it's a bit of a barge and NOT for any other reasons. I know that Russ is excited to get a great yak, but c'mon lets not go THERE!.

eeeeuuwww. :shock:
