I have a routine and everything has a place in the car.
The harness is aways hung on my boom inside the car to dry.
Some how I still managed to lose my harness and nobody has picked it up

.
The only difference to my routine was that I parked in the carpark at
Melville Waters and not on the side of the road near the play equipment.
I only realised it was missing when I went for a windsurf two weeks later.
Routines are very important, but like others at Melville, we all like to have a chat and look at other peoples gear. It does not take much to distract you from your routine and I may have been distracted and placed it somewhere else.
It did give me an excuse to buy new gear
