What to do with an old boat

With concerns rising in so many sports as to the impossibility of re-cycling equipment safely, re-using can be a better option for the short term, (With hopes that re-cyling techniques will be developed in the future)
I saw this on my early morning walk in a Camerton garden. Perhaps that will be the fate of mine eventually - its hull started parting company with the deck again last week and kept filling with water. It is quite old but mendable still, thanks to one of the club's  handy-men.

In the evening, with the stars burning with blue fire in the frost, I drove over to Wigton Swimming Bath. It is rather off the beaten track but Carlisle and District Scuba club meet there and I was booked for a Taster Dive. 
It was pretty much how I expected it to be, although it was a wet-suit experience rather than dry suit. I knew I'd have difficulties in managing the flippers because I normally swim breast stroke but it was the fact that the jacket holding the tank on my back was much too large that had me in stitches. The tank kept falling from side to side as I wobbled along near the bottom, sending me off in crabwise tangents, and that made me laugh and get water in the system. It was far more difficult forJan, who was guiding me and trying to balance my buoyancy against my directional unpredictability. When we came out she was very kind and said I'd done well. 
Not drowned! so, relatively,  I suppose it's true.
