![]() "W1TEF" wrote in message news ![]() Ok, not so much. http://s807.photobucket.com/albums/y...00 390657.jpg 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. In Lake Mead, at Vegas Marina, a lady pulled into the fuel dock. She asked the guy for fuel and to check everything, as the boat seemed "sluggish". The attendant discovered that the trailer was still firmly attached. From the Las Vegas Review-Journal Steve visit my blog at http://cabgbypasssurgery.com Steve |
