Cross Bars, Boats and Cipherin'
Re: Cross Bars, Boats and Cipherin'
Do we need to start a support group? BLA (Boat Losers Anonymous) perhaps?
You come too.

I'm already in swimmers anonymous, I don't think I can handle another support group at this time.

It is just a matter of time!
Boat long enough and you will swim
and
Travel with a boat long enough and you will loose same.
The more you boat and travel, the greater the chance.

Understood, Mr. Dave. Already exited the boat a few times. 
You come too.

Good support group. I bashed in the hood and side of Lori's new Cherokee two weeks in a row back before the new bridge was built over the Cadron on HWY 65. Front tie downs don't work when you are driving down a steep incline & the next week I had the rain gutter clamps so tight they broke the gutters off on a ride down to Kyles.

- I have had as many as four canoes on this car. Thousands of miles. Cross winds, headwinds, gusts etc. Haven't lost one yet. BTW, my roof rack is only 48" so I attach a conduit pipe to give me 72" for carrying two or more.

Standard electrical conduit pipe. I would say it is 1/2". Because a Subaru is not tall, I put tennis balls on the ends to protect me from head injury. There is some flex but it has not been a problem. Longest trip with the conduit cross bars was to the Current River. Very high and gusty cross winds. I use rope . . . not straps.
