Pumps

A couple of these:



arrived at Alex's house this morning. As mentioned here, we thought pumps could make bailing easier (as opposed to using tupperware boxes). The bicycle-pump style Easybailer will strap under a canoe seat, out of the way, but will help massively if we do need to empty the canoe away from shore. It emptied Alex's kitchen sink in no time at all and is well worth while having about considering how little room it takes up.

They're made by Munster Simms Engineering, probably better known as Whale Pumps (http://www.whalepumps.com) and can be seen on page 44 of http://www.whalepumps.com/documents/brochure/WHALE_MARINE_2009_reduced_file_size.pdf.

Good kit.
