In 2020 we took delivery of a Torqueedo outboard, for use on both ‘Cachalot’ and ‘Cachalette’, then we bought two kayaks!

The Torqueedo, bought in 2020 principally to replace the very heavy petrol outboard on ‘Cachalot’ fitted perfectly on ‘Cachalette’ allowing us to motor up and down the river in almost complete silence!

A year later, whilst walking along the path to Robertsons, Steve noticed an inviting ‘for sale’ sign pinned to a long red kayak. That would be a good idea, wouldn’t it? Sunday 15 August found us on Robertsons slip with Neil, who is selling the 14′ kayak. Steve takes it for a trial and decides to have it – but what about Bev? No worries, Neil has a smaller one in his garden and, on trying it out we make an offer for them both.
