No reason not to SIB

[PeterM]

I took the bombard out for a quik spin this afternoon and while packing away say a guy come up to the slip in a 2.7m SIB.

He gingerly got out and walked very slowly up the slip, got in his electric wheel chair - fair play I thought- not letting anything stop his enjoyment.

He then reversed down the slip, hitched up the SIB and off her went ! Up the road then on the pavement . I though it was just brilliant !

A took a quick snap on the phone as I drove past as I just thought it was genius. A guy determined to enjoy being on the water no matter what...

So next time I think 'I am abit tired' or 'my dodgy elbow is hurting' I need to just 'man up' and enjoy boating.

Surely you need a 4x4 to launch a SIB/RIB - I thought everyone knew that

At least he is wearing his life jacket. All be it on his scooter.
