A quick update to the Cowan Lake post. For those of you who might not remember, it's been exactly a year since Frank and Marianne Gerry's car and Flying Scot were totaled in a traffic accident on the north side of Indianapolis.
Well, returning home from Cowan Lake last weekend, not three miles from their accident, they had another accident! This time the car, boat and people were fine, but the axel on their brand new trailer broke!! It could have been an absolute disaster, but happily they were in the right lane and were able to pull over before the tire came flying off and causing all kinds of mayhem. Also, Frank resisted what I think is everyone's instinct to step on the brakes. By just taking his foot off the gas and coasting to a stop he also avoided jackknifing the boat and car. Thank goodness.
Happily Frank was able to convince Trailex to honor their warranty and the trailer is being repaired as we speak. Scary, though..
So, on the eve of our 800+ mile trip to Dallas, I wish everyone safe travels...
