Just hook into the eye bolt and tighten the straps, alternating to keep the boat level. It also makes it easier to control the boat when you bring it back down, you just release each cam and lower the boat a little at a time (again alternating to keep it somewhat level) until it is down. I just tuck the extra strap material into the cockpit during storage. Mike -- Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a great blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
