Winter Boating

River levels have been great the last few days. The storms have brought rain and wamrer weather so a bit of snow melt and heavy rain has put rivers into condition.

I got to play on the Tay yesterday at my favourite wave Wee Ecc. 

The winds the last week have been horrific and I'm a bit bored of them now. I wish they would die down.

Vanlife Adventures ordered!

I have wanted a van for personal use for years. I drive them almost every day with work and I love the high seating position and the versitility. Finally I plucked up the courage to go for it.

So in a couple of weeks time we will have a 2009 VW T5 with 43,000 miles on it. It is in currently in panel van form. ie we have a blank canvas. I don't think we are going to go for a full camper conversion. More like a day van multi use van set up. side windows will be the first. Seating for six, Sleeping options, yes. Removable seats for toys to go in. Swival front seats for socialising. Thule Roof Rack.

I will be sorry to see the Freelander go, but it is time.

So to celebrate I went kayaking.! The Braan really does deliver for an afternoon blast. It was not too cold and the river was on the rise. 

today

is just another sunday at work.
