Not as "funny" as you think.

I hate getting my feet wet - seriously,

I will go to extreme measures to avoid it.
I have two pairs of the original style 'Crocs'.
Couldn't care less if I get my feet wet.

1 - Allow me to repeat - I don't like getting my feet wet.

2 - I don't wear sandals. Shoes and socks.

3 - I also don't wear shorts.

4 - I would make the obligatory commentary about guys wearing sandals
and shorts, but I won't. :)
Don't wear shorts?
Good grief... how do you wade out into the water during retrieval?
I have drive on trailers.
Is that a euphemism for a (shudder) roller trailer?

Nope - bunks.


Oh, you use your boat engine to drive the boat up onto the trailer.

The two or three different ramp sites I've been using allow a more gentle
approach. The water is pretty deep and the ramp angle ain't bad, so with a
rope attached to the bow eye, I can physically pull the boat a good
distance onto the trailer. I then attach the winch strap and crank the
boat onto the trailer the rest of the way. Did that with the original Yo
Ho and as a result, there wasn't a mark on her bottom.

Do you have "glides" on your bunks, or do you use any sprays to increase
slipperyness?

Reminds me of what a treat it was to use the ramp on Lake Rousseau.
Perfect slope, my sailboat easily floated off the trailer and was a snap to
re-load.
Sure wish the local builders could learn how to build a decent ramp.
