One winter when I'd been windsurfing it was freezing-a*** cold and blowing a gale I decided I couldn't be a***d to put everything on the roofrack so I'd throw it inside, salt water be damned, and sort it out in the morning.
It was so quick I couldn't believe I hadn't taken that approach before. My opinion changed when I slammed the rear hatch and found out that the surfboard fin made the board about 2" longer than the available load space.
I think it was autoglass that came out to the beach and replaced it on the spot - the guy was efficient if not happy. I seem to recall that I was at Calshot, which is pretty unpleasant with the wrong wind.
