After some frustration with the hook eye ends on the bungee cord and deck rigging I was ready for a simpler project. The kayak had been sitting on the garage floor for a couple of weeks now, waiting for a couple of small improvements. Since I am away most of the week, and having many other honey-do and other woodworking projects that are high priority, the kayak has been sitting idle most of the time.
The weather hasn't been cooperating either. I had hoped to get in some time on the water, but here in the high country the roads to the lakes were either snowed in or closed by the Forest Service to avoid making a mess out of them. An unexpected late 10" snowfall extended the closures for another week.
Getting the kayak off the floor and out of the saw dust and other projects way moved to the head of the list. If you can't go paddling, work on a better storage solution.
After looking at several ways to store the kayak, weighing costs and space requirements, I decided to use hangar straps from NRS. These came from Austin Canoe and Kayak and cost less than $20.00.
Details of where and how this was installed see Herb's Kayak.
