Well, it's dicey purchasing new that far away. Giving them a deposit without knowing for sure what they would offer for trade-in didn't seem like the best idea so we took a little drive to Nebraska under a red flag warning . . . Yikes. Anyway, Gene picks it up tomorrow. Happily I am needed elsewhere :-) The shell, with a rack for our new kayak is ordered. I'll admit that we are normally impulse buyers but have really done the opposite with this purchase. We'll be glad when it's done and my vote is that impulse is much more fun!
