That brings back memories. I was probably a similar age when I went for a walk along the banks of the Dee with my Dad. I had a plastic boat like that and I planned to let it sail in the river. I'd tied a long length of string to the deck cabin and threw the boat into the water. The cabin detached from the boat and it sailed far out into the river! Fortunately, someone in a passing motor boat circled, fished it out and brought it back to us on the shore! The things that stick in your mind.
