Agree with you Sea Kem.

Christian?
haha Dont know about christian mate!
But I did manage to get hold of them and have arranged for them to come pick it up. Ive recently had a few family issues with my brother in law passing away with cancer, so watching his last 6 months of his life spent with my sister was pretty hard so I could only imagine what this family is going through. Hopefully it will help
Cheers guys

Champion Piggy, good on ya
Champion Piggy, good on ya mate.
Hope the thieving mongrels get what they deserve, a good hard flogging. Would still like to see the original returned to the family so keep an eye out if your down Busso way, it's probably still down there somewhere.

Picked it up
Gents,
The family came and picked up the kayak today. I wasnt there so I didnt get to meet them, but my Mum said the family was beautiful and the story made her cry when they were talking. Some people just need a break with all the drama in their life so I was more than happy to help them and would do it again in a heart beat!!
Still hope the wankers that stole it get hit by a truck tho!!!!!
Cheers

Thank you Piggy
Some people blow their own trumpet but it is all hot air and no action. Well that CANNOT be said for Piggy...Yes he certainly did provide our family with a kayak and we are now the proud owners of a lovely new kayak....I don't know if we cried more when we had our one stolen or when "Piggy" gave us this one. Piggy your generosity has done more for our family than just replacing a Kayak...it has healed some open wounds and restored the childrens faith in mankind. They were heart broken when it happened because they just couldn't understand why all the bad stuff should happen to us. Life is sooo tough at the moment but this offered us a rainbow of hope and great joy. Now to create some more memories with this kayak. Thanks again Piggy words just can't express our gratitude enough. Added bonus I'm now connected to fishwreked too....had to thank you somehow!

I will endeavour to upload
I will endeavour to upload some pictures of us creating some fun memories together.Hopefully those fun times will be sometime soon. Master 11 was very excited to see the kayak was fitted with rod holders. Madam 13 hates fish since hubby threw his catch in the kayak with her and the dog...what a noise, it was horrible. but very funny...not that I laughed...much!

Soo much kindness, soo much generosity
We have been given a second kayak, not as pretty as Piggys and needed a couple of parts but it does mean I can now take my hubby out on the water without worrying about him being alone. This means sooo much given the time we have. Thank you to another fishwrecked reader for your donation. (No name provided as I don't know his online name he contacted me via gumtree). Thanks again, it's really appreciated.

Hey earlybird if you were
Hey earlybird if you were closer to attadale i would ride over and give it to you but you see im only 14 so i cant exactly drive over there and drop it off.
. It's probably not worth the time and fuel it would take you to drive over and get it , it doesnt have a reel. but i thought if you were close i could go and drop it off to you on my bike.
