Oh, this warms my post-turkey Thanksgiving heart. A Clem AND a Platy and #RivSisters and a new Platy owner salute. Way to make my night! Since this Platy is on its first cruise, I’m curious where your friend found it. They are so, so rare. I’ve been keeping an eye out a couple of people just pining for the enigmatic and coveted Rivendell Platypus. I’m so glad your friend found her very own. Is this her first Rivendell?
Also, I have never ever seen a Saddlesack put on the handlebars! Very creative, and it looks like it will work great.
