I bought a Tender earlier in the week. I had it posted to work, which seemed like a sensible idea given I’m never at home. It’s huge! and heavy!

I had to get a taxi home form Victoria to Tower Bridge because it was too bulky to carry. I managed about 30m from the office building before I had to give up and call for help. Myself and my house mate, Rob, carried it to the nearest road and waited to hail a taxi. £15 later I got it home.

Anyway, with it being the weekend and all I decided I’d better check it’s all intact and usable, so having nearly broken my neck trying to get the box up the two flights of stairs in our three story house, I open the contents onto my bed and began pumping….

I’ve got to figure out how to pack it back into it’s bag now. Could be interesting.

edit (24th Spetember): This very boat is for sale. It wouldn’t fit on my Corribee, so I’ve got to buy a smaller tender. It’s only been used once and is in as new condition. £400, for collection from Lancashire (near Chorley).
