Heh - typical launch ramp escapades. Launch the boat without taking
off the bow line or the tie down straps, didn't lock the emergency
brake and away they go.

Even funnier - they panicked, started the engine and manuevered the
boat into one of the empty slips, then cut the bow line and tie downs
and the whole thing sank in 25 feet of water - all while drifting
under the docks and boats.

I've been boating since I was 12 and I've seen just about everything
there is to see at a launch ramp, but it never fails to amuse me when
things like this happen.



Why does it amuse you? What is funny about such a misfortune happening
to others? Tell us, when you see someone having problems on a ramp, do
you offer to help, or are you like that p.o.s. herring...you just sit
there and watch and laugh?


You are amused by other people's illnesses, asshole.

Depends on who the other people are...certainly am not amused by the
problems of boaters on the highway or ramp.

So you sit in judgement of your fellow man? I don't believe that was
in the teachings of Jesus, was it?

We hollered at them not to cut the lines because the boat was the only
thing holding the whole rig up off the bottom and the marina owner
went to get his tractor so we could haul it out with chains, but they
didn't listen.

OH well...

Couple years ago, could not lauch for a couple hours at Santa Cruz ramp.
Couple guys with a new RIB and new Expedition launch it all. 4x4 and did
not engage 4x4 and SC has an expensive launch but they never power wash the
ramp and low tide the algae is slippery. They do furnish wheel chocks. The
problem was the Expedition was no it's side semi floating underwater and the
divers were having trouble righting the vehicle so it could be towed out.
Sad but funny. Just think of phone call home. Honey, could you please come
pick us up, we sank the truck and trailer. Boat did float nose down until
released.

No surprise that both of you assholes think ramp mishaps are funny.
