Some of the funniest times we have include sitting at the local boat
ramp.

My wife and I grab an ice cream cone at Dairy Queen, drive down to the
Muni dock and watch the entertainment

place I used to keep my boat some years ago had a public ramp right across
the channel from the marina. There was a group of about 4 or 5 old codger
townies used to come down of a saturday, set on the dock by the ramp in
their beach chairs with libations, and hold up score cards for each
launch/retrieval, a la gymnastics. 7.8..... 8.1.....7.6.....7.6.......
you get the drift.

Great entertainment, from both sides.


I've been a 7.3 lately. Had to remove the guide posts from my trailer
because the clamps were crushing the frame. Haven't hacked together an
alternative yet, but the idea's perfect: Two plastic woodworking clamps from
HD, two extra cheap 4' kiddie fishing poles, two styrofoam balls (from craft
shop), painted dayglo red. Clamp on gunwales. Ba da bing.
