Canal Bandit – Fun And Fabulous For Familes
It was a fabulous Gold Coast day the sun was shining and with little effort my children convinced me to get our inflatable boat out on the water.
I ended up with my seven year old son in our Gemini Canal Bandit. My seven year old driving and me, Dad being the ballast in the front. Our Gemini is powered by a Mercury 6hp so therefore anticipating some sedate cruising as I figured my weight would stop any speed. I was proved wrong as this little rocket took off with instantaneous acceleration.
It was fabulous fun mucking around with my children. It is a parents greatest joy to see their children lit up with glee and shouting in joy obviously as a result of our Canal Bandit. For me, a Dad, it was a wonderful bonding lesson and treasured enjoyable family time. Eventually I was booted off the Canal Bandit by my 12 year old daughter who proceeded to scoot around with her sister both unable to control their laughter.
I stood and watched them having fun jumping the wake of other boats, doing circuits and safely hooning around. After some time I tried to get them off the water. With eyes red and bleary they refused. It was only when the tank was dry that they agreed enough was enough.
Our Canal Bandit the catalyst of our family fun. What a fabulous boat, small and compact and easy to store in the garage. It’s not expensive and it wholesome family fun, with our children outside in the fresh air and sunshine. Its worth is in the hours of family fun and skills it teaches my children. Best of all it doesn’t even require a trailer and it totally portable to any location to really make a day of it. Thank you to our Canal Bandit
