Yeah, nothing quite like slipping on the algae and then slicing your leg on
the baracles / zebra mussels / whatever that is growing on the side of the
ramp...


OUCH!!!!!

The ramp at my marina is real long and gradual. It's a freshwater lake with a
nuke plant on it. Another boat ramp near the public campground is insane -
it's about a 30 degree angle... I mean, even a Ford F-350 dually would
probably need to use 4x4 low to pull a boat up the ramp!
