This is taking longer than I thought
So I haven’t had the time to address any off Segue’s issues yet this year. I’ve been busy.
I have been working too hard the last few Springs, and missed being in the OBX.
This year has been a little rough on me . So I decided to go anyway.
Since the drive is long and I want Lauralee to come out to the beach with me more often I had some work to do?
Basically I was given a list. My beautiful bride of 30 years plus, would like…
1- To have a spot for her purse that she can reach from the front seat.
2- A place to carry our bikes, in case it’s not windy
4- some room to put a bag or two of her own
5- a place to put a beach chair
6- and an umbrella
See even when I had the giant extended E350, I always managed to fill it to the brim with gear. My gear. When I downsized to the Nissan my daily commute was more comfortable. But I have less space. So I the toys took precedence, and not the comforts of home.
She was loaded right up to the back of the front seats.
I tried to address this by switching all my boards to Tri Fins Freestyle wave boards. No race gear, slalom, or foils. Only three windsurfers. And I only carry one surfboard now. Plus my current rack system was crushing my sails. And I didn’t want that.
So here is how I started
Now where do I put all this stuff?
It starts with a plan of sorts.

So I lay down some vinyl. Tear apart the old racks
And build some new ones.

Build and paint a platform.

You build a base to anchor everything to


You try and make everything fit. And it doesn't. So you curse a lot.

You spend a lot of time wishing you had actual plans.
Fit and refit.
Then all of a sudden it looks like you knew what you were doing...


THE OBX AWAITS!
So now that I'm done, what next?
