P.S. Granted, I did have one boat fly off the roof at one time, because
it wasn't tied on at all... At least it stayed on for several kilometres
of winding roads through the hills, before finally flying off after I
went down one hill at around 100 km/h ~60mph :-)

A guy I went kayaking with a while ago was also a pilot. When he parked he
pulled one of those red "Remove before flight" tags out of the car and stuck
it on the drivers side wiper blade. He said it is to remind him to do a walk
around the car to check that everything is in, on and tied down. Seems he
had, at one time, done the same thing. He set the boat on the car to take a
long lunch, planning to go back out on the water later. The weather went bad
and he changed his mind. Did the same as you. He said it stayed in place
much longer than he thought it would. Only sliding off the front and across
the hood a few miles down the road at a stop sign.
