Many times I noticed side wind gusts while driving fast in a windy weather, with or without a kayak. It even felt like those gusts were stronger when I was driving faster, though I can't understand why. ------------------------------ Having driven 180 miles last Sunday with a newly purchased conoe on the top of my truck, on the way back from conoecopia, I can attest to cross winds. I was headiing north and the wind was from the west. It took 5 hours and many safety stops to get home. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
