Re: [Paddlewise] Stolen Pirouette

We live in an apartment in Toronto, and don't have anywhere to store our
fiberglass canoe, so it is spending the whole summer sitting on top of our car,
just tied on with nylon rope (it looks like a sun hat for the car). I wasn't
worried about it until now. I figured that the pukey yellow colour and
abundance of scratches wouldn't make it much of a target, and it sure makes it
easier to find the car in parking lots. But I'd be devastated if we lost
"Tweety" so I guess I'd better figure out a safer storage solution. I was
thinking of putting a couple of eyehooks into the concrete ceiling of the
parking garage and hanging it over my car. Does anyone have any suggestions
about how to anchor the hooks in the concrete?
