Speaking of roof racks, I have changed cars and am now adjusting to my delightfully lower Subaru Legacy wagon. (I'm short.) I am trying out a new configuration - Thule rack with Thule saddles in the front and Yakima rollers in the back. Seems to work fine, but the saddles are lower than the rollers. Therefore the bow slants downward at (total guess) maybe 10 or 15 degrees. It's a jaunty look, but I'm concerned about the wind forces at highway speeds with the kayak at this odd angle. Does anyone have any thoughts on the safety or advisability of carrying the kayak this way? It was not alarming on local roads....
