What do you call 900 people dead in vehicles rolled over ON the highway? Natural selection. Seriously, if you are going to purchase a vehicle to complement your kayaking, get a modern one --one with decent fuel economy, good suspension systems and one that is low enough so that you will not obstruct others' view of the road. It only takes a little self esteem to get over the pick-up/sport (sic) utility (sic) vehicle thing. bob phillips industry professional (Don't ask) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

For those using Thule racks (like me), I have been toying with the idea of using a roller from a boat trailer mounted beside the saddles to roll the boat up on then lift over to the saddles. Does anyone have any suggestions along those lines. Yes--Yakama (sp?) makes an adaptor clip to put the rollers on Thule Bars. I have Yak saddles on the front and Yak rollers on the back of both my wife's and my vehicles. They've been on about 18 months now without any problems. Sure make solo loading and unloading easy.
