Was thinking it might be poss to get a good inflatable, used only once, from some chandler on the English south coast. Apparently there are a few dotting the shingle . . .
But, would then have to get it back whence it came, pump it up a bit, and set to sea again.
Just have to hope to 'not be taken' before being able to say 'taradiddle' and 'fun while it lasted' to the fruit of the loins I suppose!
And be sure to sign over a bike or three to them before I cool, to reduce paperwork!
