Kayaks are Safe


It looks like the tree was shaped perfectly for arching over the boats. The boat rack leg is broken, so it may have actually hit them.

I saw this in real life and I didn't notice the leg of the kayak rack broken. I thought the tree had just (and I do mean JUST!!) missed touching a kayak.

We'll have to wait and see next Spring if the kayaks still float, then they are unharmed!

Before it fell over, the tree was flailing around like the "womping willow" in the Harry Potter movie. The whole kayak rack was pushed westward about ten inches, and the rack leg nearest to the tree was the one that broke. I really think the tree hit the boat fairly hard. I guess it's a testament to the sturdiness of cedar strip construction. There isn't even a scratch on any of the boats!
