Beachaven Mystery Launch

Beachaven Mystery Launch

One of the woodys was mooching around Beachaven in the weekend, must have taken a wrong turn 😉 and spotted the above woody. From the condition of the boat and the cradle set up, I think we could safely assume she has been there a while.

Given the clandestine nature of the woodys visit, I cant ID them, their partner would not be impressed with another woody joining the fleet.

Anyone able to tell us more about the boat?
