Thread: Holiday Lodge, Boat saved, Loaded on Trailer

Chula, guessing Petie's called you out for being short on common sense. Tough board, thick skin needed to roam here.

Which class did you take? Asking for a friend.

Even the best can sometimes get in trouble

Yeah, I made a few in my lifetime, the good news is that I am still alive.

Petie was in the 5% like the rest of us

How big of a boat and motor do you have G

Wind is everything at Sardis, use your head and listen to some locals that fish up there a lot. As far as Engineers point being the cure all I don't see it that way, not everyone is set up for a 15 mile boat ride. If top end is 30 miles an hour then it would take a half hour to get back in in good conditions much longer on a ruff lake, Sardis is also a LONG drive around too but have found that the drive just aint that bad compared to a ruff arse boat ride. I do the same on Grenada, put in pretty much where I intend to start if the wind allows. Pay attention to the lay of the land, so to speak, and the wind forecast, if the wind is gonna be blowing straight into that ramp avoid it.
