I was unable to make it this morning due to a ratchet strap failure. My front strap failed, the boat fell off the trailer the back strap held and I ended up dragging my boat upside down for over a mile. I guess some could say I was lucky not to burn a hole in the bottom of the boat, but it totaled my seat, 4 rods and reels, rod holders ripped from the track system, tackle box destroyed and my new paddle well its un useable right now. Ill have to send it in for repairs... Hell I was only doing 25mph cause of the fog. If it would have been a clear morning I probably wouldn't have a yak anymore, I couldn't see back there it was black dark... I had no idea it was being drug due to the train down below me after the train past I heard what sounded like the trailer being drug by the safety chains, I stop got out and could not believe my eyes... I had walk the road with a flash light picking up all my stuff I've been using ratchet straps now for years tying down mowers, 4 wheelers, boats, etc. never had one fail until today... For now on I will have extra straps tying down my stuff...
