Biggest kayaking obstacle is on the roof of my car - Bangor Daily News
True, I live a mere mile from the fabulous Megunticook Lake , which bans development on about half of its shores. My former vehicle, a Toyota Tundra complete with racks, was perfect for the activity. Alas, the $100 price tag for a Tundra fill-up was far beyond the Cobb Manor budget. Once the racks are on, the next task is to hoist the Prowler onto the racks. Once again, this was easier on the Tundra. I am not saying I’m getting old, but this task seems a little harder every effort. Every hoist seems to leave a few more scratches on the Honda. It now looks like the vehicle has completed half of its mileage sliding down the highway upside down. Once the yellow beast is aboard, it is time for the L. L. Bean tie-downs. I am a fetishist about these tie-downs, since I once dropped a canoe on Cobb Road using inferior devices. Naturally, Blue Eyes was present to deliver the customary “tsk-tsk. This dry bag will contain a towel, compass, water bottle, knife and flashlight (natch), wind jacket and wind pants. Source: bangordailynews.com
