Garage Cleanup and Yakima Racking

Short post today as there isn't much interesting to say about cleaning up a garage, doing some touch up painting,  and sorting through our Yakima rack parts to put a canoe rack on the Volkswagen Passat.

We found out that while the government movers will move a canoe, that because it is bulky it counts for additional weight far beyond its real weight.

So--we decided to take it with us on top of the Passat on the ferry.  The VW is about 17 feet long, and the canoe is sixteen, so it should not count as extra for the ferry.  It turned out that we had all the parts we needed for the racks, so we will leave it together and ready for when we need to move the canoe.

This is Neil's Only Boat these Days

So this is another task that we won't have to worry about when it is time to move.  Neil might even decide to put one of the outboards in the pickup bed so we have a canoe and motor should we ever want it when we get to Oregon.

Fair Winds and Calm Seas,
