Welcome to version 2.0!

Well, I had a bit of time on my hands yesterday so decided to spruce up the blog. It's changed from a standard 'blogger' template, and I have removed some of the older widgets and added ones like the search bar, which works great and I even use it when looking through different kayaks. There is also a much easier navigation system up the top to find your way through older posts and reviews about individual yaks.
Oh and another positive is that my account got some credit interest so it's up from $254.04 to $254.14! Score!

Saving hard

Ok it's mid August and I'm up to just over $200. Saving $50 per week is so slow but it gives me time to research, test and find the perfect kayak. Also, my birthday is coming up so if you are reading this Nicole (my beautiful wife) a contribution to the fund would be most appreciated!

Saying that - I'd love to have it ready to go by the time snapper season gets into full swing!
I found a couple of Hobie Quests for sale in Victoria (a rarity) but it was probably a couple of months too soon for the budget. Here's hoping there'll be more when I'm ready to buy!
