  1. Vart vÀnder jag mig för mer info?
    Jag heter Daniel och Àr 37 Är och jag bor i karlstad. Jag fick lÄna en bÄtplats i somras vid bryggan dÀr jag bor. Jag sitter i rullstol och har en bÄt som Àr anpassad, den Àr drygt 2,5 meter bred. Jag undrar om det finns en chans att Àven jag skulle kunna köra min bÄt sjÀlv pÄ detta sÀtt? Hur gör jag!?

    BÄten betyder otroligt mkt för mig, och de gÄnger man puttrar ut pÄ VÀrnen Àr guld vÀrt. Eftersom det Àr en elrullstol jag sitter i sÄ kan jag inte ens Äka BÄtbussarna. Jag brukar sÀga att jag inte köpte en bÄt, utan att jag köpte livskvalitét.
    Men trodde aldrig att det kunde gÄ att göra sÄ jag kunde köra den sjÀlv.........tills jag sÄg detta tips!
    Hoppas Ni förstÄr.
