Thanks for the advice. I'll make sure to keep those friendly folks with the big machine guns a wide berth and not exit to open waters there in HH. I am trying to get comfortable with my outfitter and my wife used to being in the yak.
I relaxed the tension on the cables and used some triflow lubricant on the mechanicals of the mirage system; the friction dropped alot and moves like butter now. I can't wait to get this back in the water and try it out.
