Anyone know who ‘lost’ their Scorpius XS (blue/black) and roof racks on the I-5 back from the Gorge? We salvaged the seat and leash and held a quaint ceremony for her. She’s tucked on the other side of the guard rail so she won’t blow into traffic. I have pics for insurance purposes as the boat is beyond repair. You can email me at vosoutrigger@gmail.com. Sorry for your loss :(

Share the photos!!!!!! Anyone who loses a canoe with the racks attached deserves a little heckling.

Yep I wanna see the ex xs too. Does that mean they didn't hear it rip off? What a shock when they got home.

FWIW, I've had in my shop a pair of 23' , 96 pound, double kayaks that yanked DOUBLE Yakima ( so 4 bars ) off a full size Ford's rain gutters @ 90mph .... LOL > NOT PRETTY !

Easy guys, it was a new boat, it had just got a taste of some Columbia river downwind... it came off the top of the car - rack and all, damaging the car, landing on the road and then run over by a truck and causing more damage there... it was devastating.
it happens,
thankfully no one was hurt,
it was a beautifully made canoe
and they had a long way to travel to get home.
i think we can all understand how awful that must feel...
either way, we will find a way to get that paddler back on the water soon....
