        Boats are typically an exclusion on most home-owner policies. And I
wouldn't expect my auto policy to cover a boat on a trailer. But what about
the kayak on the roof? If the car slides off the road in winter ice, or
lurches into a tree to avoid the apochryphal child chasing the ball into the
street, is the yak covered when it gets crunched and splintered in the
wreck? If someone decides to take my truck for a joyride where truck and yak
end up deep-sixed and abandoned out in the bay. . . is the boat covered by
the auto-theft policy?

        OK. . . last question. Does anyone insure their boat(s) against
theft, vandalism, fire, or even loss to tides and disappearing beaches?
