I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

FAQs:
- The Yakima BoatLoader is not worth the money. I don't think it will work with any crossbars. Save your money and just use a tie-down strap to tie between the bars. Load the front of the kayak on the strap and then push the boat onto the rack.
- It comes with the wrench, it is a security bolt so keep the wrench safe.
- Fits Yakima RoundBar and CoreBar crossbars only.
- Yes, I have used it with 80 lb kayaks.
