Thank you for sharing in this new and exciting series!!!

Next month, Mullet Miller will be discussing the proper methodology for parking one's kayak under a bridge...

Nice "tutorial", there, SeaFlea. But what if the tide is lower than said abutment, like by five feet!?

Very astute observation l'il buddy! SJFW & I noticed a drop of 2' started to put some "undue" pressure on the "strut" of the NWWBA. At 2 1/2' we were approaching a recumbent position and I was starting to get cramps! It wasn't long after that we were forced to retract the NWWBA and finger out a new strategy...

I've deployed a device similar to the NWWBA (MRTBA size 10)
