The SeaVole is my boat, so called because it is small, questing, and has a pointy nose. It is a 6-foot Walker Bay and it was a present from Herself. I use it as a rowing boat, and sometimes we put a two-stroke engine on the back of it. It is possible to get a sail etc for Walker Bays but Herself does the sailing in her Topper - so the SeaVole is for rowing. The dog comes out with me in the boat - we are Byron and Boatswain - and we row out to the shingle spit, get out, go swimming, get back in, row back and the row about some more. It's excellent exercise.
The SeaVole has got to be up there in the top three best presents I have ever received - with one of those being Life Itself. As a small person I was forever begging to be allowed to row various boats, so to own my very own rowboat is the fulfillment of many childhood dreams.
Here's to the SeaVole. Long may she quest.
