Bargain of the year.
$320 at Costco.

Catriona is an enabler.

Zen-love your new boat/kayak. It's even better that it was at a bargain price. May you have a lot of fun trips down your local river/stream.

Happy rowing!

Oh, I didn't make the connection that that is a NEW BOAT and it's YOURS! Very cool. Can you get it on top of your car/van by yourself? That's how I decided what to buy.

And I had no idea Costco sold kayaks.

It fits in her van. She has photographic evidence. Looks like she got it out herself.

It has 2 compartments/bulkheads, so was great for the price.

Some older guy bought a 17 foot kayak from R Sunday morning - and needed it to be put on top of his full size van. So we stuck it up there, I gave him one of those foam cradles for kayaks that I had spare - and we tied it off for him.

But I have no idea how that man is going to get that kayak up and down off the roof of that van himself. R had spent several hours on the phone with the guy a couple times trying to talk him out of buying the kayak for various reasons (it really wasn't a kayak suited for what he wanted). But he would not be dissuaded. He was having that kayak.

I could get it in and out of the van by myself but I'd like to try putting it on top of the jeep. I saw a jeep with a kayak on top but it had the canvas top off.

A couple of weeks ago I saw a guy with a 'yak lashed to the trailer he was towing with his GoldWing. :D

Another time I saw someone on a moto towing a canoe that was at least 14' long.
