It was a long day and there was a bit of a crisis with the mounting of the yaks but it all worked out great in the end. After putting the first yak on the Hull Raiser Aeros all of us sat around shaking our heads knowing this wasn’t going to be a good solution for these yaks and my car. Luckily the great team at Lewis & Clark Outfitters scrambled and worked out a great solution with the Yakima parts they had in stock. I can’t thank the 3 great guys there enough for going out of their way and making us happy customers. We didn’t get a chance to paddle since it was cold and the kids were getting antsy, but they will get their first taste of water tomorrow on Draper.

Soon. Very soon.
I am going to give a plug for the great people at Rack Attack too. One of my pieces was missing a rubber pad and they overnighted it at no cost with no questions.

So a month ago I called the great people at Lewis and Clark Outfitters and ordered 2 Native Ultimate 14.5 Angler models. The boats have been in for almost a week and the whole family will be road tripping it to Springdale Arkansas to pick up our new boats this weekend. I can’t wait to get my hands on them and look forward to all the water that it will open, but the anticipation is killing me. Unfortunately I didn’t think ahead far enough and have had to scramble to get cross bars,Yakima HullRaiser Aeros, as well as some Scotty rod holders. Luckily I ordered the rod holders from Austin Canoe & Kayak and can’t say enough about the service I got from them. I ordered them yesterday, didn’t pay shipping, and I got them today. Having almost all the pieces to the puzzle is wetting my appetite so much that the passing of time seems much slower than normal.
