Boat launch oops..

An obvious player in this scenario is the bizarre and extreme angle of
the boat ramp. Wonder what the designer was thinking?
I've seen ramps like that before. Not optimal, but the designer was
probably compromising for all factors -- tide range, available real estate,
need for parking, etc.
What was the boat owner's excuse? :-)
That ramp is far from steep. It's actually a pretty decent grade.
I tend to agree.
There is a ramp at Delaware City, Del., that's one of the worst I've seen.
It's about ten feet below street level, so you are backing down this steep
incline from the street level. I don't know what angle actually is, but,
viewed from the water, it looked about 70 degrees (grin). It was probably
more like 20.
