Kayak


Queued to get into the basement parking area of the Mountain equipment coop for its bi-annual sale.
My friend bought a boat, well a kayak, as opposed to a canoe. There was lots of good advice on how to carry the 60lb weight(over the shoulder with the cockpit facing in and the nose down) how to pack in camping gear, and the best way of getting it safely on to the roof of the car!
How we laughed, ......to be fare to the staff member he didn't laugh when my friend said he doesn't have a car, and anyway wants to tow it from the back of his bicycle on principle.
At fifteen feet long everyone was impressed when it went into a second floor appartment without a crane ( we borrowed a car to get it home..just this one time).
When the trailor gets built , it should be a cinch to get my longboard on as well, Lake Ontario here we come....
