Funniest thing happend Saturday evening. We're out on Old River on the Delta and I'm teaching my girl to drive, no ones hardly out. Well we're going kinda slow and this boat comes flying by. When all of a sudden as they're directly beside us their entire board rack w/ board comes flying off and lands in the water. Luckily there was a board in it otherwise it would have sunk. Looked like they retrieved it but if you have quick release racks make sure you check them!
I could do nothing but laugh. My girl thought she did something to make it happen. LOL.

Based on the subject line, my mind when in an entirely different direction.

Funny, I was thinking of wakeboard racks, maybe I've been spending too much time wakeboarding and not enought time enjoying the scenery

we didn't have quick release but it did fall off and take a nice chunk of fiberglass off. The screws holding it on were very short so we pulled the other rack off and checked it out, they turned out okay. The board rach maker fixed the other rack and paid for the scratch to be buffed out as best as possible.

aside from being a loan officer, my other job is to check the racks. i don't mind doing that at all. in fact, i'll check twice, check three times...whatever it takes. i like checking the racks, so if i'm ever in your boat, put me in charge of checking the racks.

I'm always checking the racks while boarding - duh! It's a conscientious skill, you can never be too sly, I mean safe.
