Only problem is that the front of the canoe, hanging well over the front of the roof, already blocks a lot of my view. I don't want to make it worse. I'll probably just try a test drive with the front not lashed down and my wife in the adjacent lane looking for signs of lifting. However, the next time an aircraft carrier comes 200 miles up the Connecticut River, to the Hanover-Lebanon area, I will be sure to drive my 9-5 off the Ledyard Bridge onto its deck! --THC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tom Cormen Voice: (603) 646-2417 Associate Professor Fax: (603) 646-1672 Dept. of Computer Science Email: thcnopsamartmouth.edu Dartmouth College URL: http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~thc/ 6211 Sudikoff Laboratory Hanover, NH 03755-3510 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
