After 8 years of kayak ownership and countless trips, I finally can retire the roof racks ... I gave the Honda to daughter #2 for college and grabbed this back in December. The extreme cruelty of this winter has conspired against me actually using it to haul my yak anywhere, but it's gonna happen soon enough It's going to be sweet loading up after a long day, I never did look forward to loading/unloading when I was wiped out at the end of the day.
