I tried to get her to use a system of lines that followed channels across the roof, so you could use body weight to pull the thing up, and tie it off when bringing it down, but she never got around to it. She lives on the east coast, and I have lost track of what she finally did. She usually surfaces out here about May, so if I see it, and it looks good, I'll report back. BTW, I'm with you on Matt's system; when the boat is high, and your arms are fully extended, you are in a tenuous position. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
