Friends and family on the water !

Lauren and Lee's newly out- fitted wooden Sea kayak . It's a "handmade" 14 foot Sea Dart which was lovingly built by James - my brothers wife's dad , I added a few modifications
for safety and kid proof reasons - ie grab lines and bungees .
The youngsters love it to bits and it tracks brilliantly a great boat for them to learn in.
