      no longer will you have to swim out to the pier to retrieve your snags, you can paddle over to them now!!!!

      I hope you get pulled all over the channel by giant fish Giles.

            I am away in Suffolk for the week and have to do a few hours work before I launch - fishfinder install, mode to the trolley (so that I can get it into the scuppers single-handed) etc etc etc.  So it will be some time the week after next.

            Possibly "Sugei"…..

              At last, after a ridiculously busy 3 weeks, I have had time to sort things out.  Modifications to the trolley, so that I can easily get the cart into the scuppers on my own, test loading and unloading onto the roof rack on my own (which is surprisingly easy), and working out the quickest and most efficient way of securing the kayak to the rack.

              Weather permitting, maiden voyage in the next couple of days…..

                Bring that beaut over here… We have some bull sharks at the end of our street that need to be “rehomed” (aka caught, and disposed of lol)

                Would be some fun fights in a kayak!

                    The color of that kayak is just perfect. amazing setup and congrats on the maiden voyage. Now catch some fish and don't drop any rods and reels in the water.

                        Perfect fishing kayak. Did you christen her? Would love to hear her name.

                              I'm mulling it over.  I was going to do something clever and Japanese, but I may just keep it simple and call her something like Iron Hearted or MBMF…...

                                  @Snowy is on to something.  I'm torn between IWHWIH and Extinct, Endangered, Extant for things I miss seeing on the forum.

                                  As a newbie, they were the things I had to look up most to understand what people were talking about…

                                            Lovely sunny weather for it! Was it quite choppy out there?  Went down the seafront for a swim and the current was mental, saw lots of paddle boarders seriously struggling so I am glad I didn't take mine down
