Side wise kayak !

This morn , I-10 in Florida , about DeFuniac Springs , a pickup and T.T. Truck had 2 kayaks on top of cab on some kind of rack . Starboard yak was standing out to the right at maybe 75 or 80 degrees . Driver I assume could not see this as he was rolling east at 70 MPH . I do not know what may have happened as I was going west !
  • E. It flew off the roof and went through the windshield of a Ferrari behind them, which was driven by a lawyer. :S
  • After the tenth telephone pole got cut in half he stopped to see what was causing the jolts !

    Jack L (a hard core kayaker who has his racks bolted to the truck cap and his yaks secured with double looped cam lock buckle straps)
  • A. He finally noticed, stopped, made necessary adjustments to tie downs.

    B. Someone got his attention, they stopped, made necessary adjustment to tie-downs.

    C. It came completely off, they noticed, recovered from highway.

    D. They came out after stopping for lunch & said: "Someone stole our kayak".
