'Fraid so. Quote, "Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely
nothing -
half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."
And I couldn't agree more! Now being Triumph-less and living very close to one
of England's most
beautiful rivers - with a VERY convenient slipway, I'm giving serious thought
to acquiring a small
craft with an ultra-reliable (British Seagull) outboard motor and following in
Ratty's wash from

Mayflower
(www.newton.k12.ks.us/tech/mayflower.bmp) or Vanguard
(www.royalnavalmuseum.org/images/vanguardhmsmay1952webvers_000.jpg:) but
NOT this Vanguard (www.royalnavy.mod.uk/upload/img_400/1011629739b.jpg)
