The boat!

Little Rascal II (to be) from the
front witht he cover on.

I finally had a chance to nip off and have a proper look at the boat today.

The weather was rubbish, but I decided to go down there to take a few details for the insurance and, of course, a few pictures for the blog.

It comes with trailer and all extras, including
fish-finder and GPS/plotter.

It's a Campion Allante 615 VCi.

It is as you can see very similar to my old boat (you who know Little Rascal), which is just what I'm after; it's new waters, new situations and new experiences, so I want to be as comfortable as possible.

There is plenty of space in the cabin
that is really cosy.

It's actually more spacious than Little Rascal and in a very good condition. Everything is fully functional and nothing is missing.

There are a few minor things that the new owner will fix and I will start off by a service to make sure it's in perfect condition.

You're not to bad off in the
"back seat" either!

The previous owner realised that I was a bit apprehensive when it came to towing the boat and indeed launch it using my car, so he's promised to show me the ropes.

We'll be doing some test manoeuvering and eventually launch the boat.

Yes, it'll move if you want it to ;-)

I still have a few things to sort out before I set off, but it's extremely exciting to have a boat at my disposal again.

I'll have to go to a specialist engineering company tomorrow to see if they can fit a tow-bar to my car. That'll be intersting.

I already have people who'd love to go out fishing, so I'll have all the excuses in the world do make the most of it!
