Until a year or so ago I could say to people that the only time I ever 
put a hole in a canoe was on Roof Rack Reef.

I was putting a tradional cedar rib-and-plank canoe on my car from the 
side when a gust caught me.  The end of the bar hit the side just under 
the gunwale and right between two ribs.  A small hole in the plank 
easily repaired but somwhat infuriating at the time.
