Boat launch antics? Some of the best cheap entertainment around!

This one's better than most. The town's got two launches. One's paved, with
nice docks and it attracts an ice cream cone audience that stands around
getting in the way of the people launching boats. Costs six bucks to be
entertained there. The one I use most of the time is unpaved, bumpy, criss
crossed by 2 ravines, and it eats at least one trailer every weekend. The
ravines are totally obvious, so it's always a source of amazement that some
people don't take them into consideration.
