I would have stayed and socialised with them if I hadn't had a four hour drive home to do. PS, my wife bought me an Etrex20 as a Christmas pressie (which now has the Talkytoaster free maps installed).

Although the wind conditions were similar to those earlier in the day the wavelength seemed longer, which made it easier. <br /><br />GrahamCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701880155995391671.post-20002978398197178242012-12-13T17:15:52.614-08:002012-12-13T17:15:52.614-08:00Hi Mark, it was always the plan to keep the old bo...Hi Mark, it was always the plan to keep the old boat as well. I haven't used it since I bought the new one but that was just new toy syndrome. I thought that I'd continue to use the open canoe for more sheltered locations and save the Shearwater for more exposed trips but time will tell if I do this or not. The Nova Craft is much lighter and easier to transport and you can afford to be much less precious with it when launching and landing but it's significantly less seaworthy as a trade off. It was enjoyable to sail it again on Saturday, much less so on Sunday (but I don't think I'd have enjoyed those conditions in the Shearwater either!)
