Thread: Hubby is selling his BIG boat

Monte, I promise you I would NEVER block the ramp or approach to it while I was piddling around gathering my stuff and carrying it to the boat or while I tried to get the motor going. That is the #1 pet peeve of mine at the boat ramp.

To me, you are supposed to be ready to launch when you pull in the launch line, not just thinking about getting ready. Not waiting on your wife or husband to pull up the support vehicle next to your truck so that you can lolligag along transferring coolers from the support vehicle to the boat along with life jackets, dogs and small children! Then also have lengthy conversations among friends and family all the while staring at the folks who are piling up in the line behind you and looking at them like THEY are the idiots! Then the support vehicle eventually has to go park so they move out of the way. Then it's the waiting game to get the boat trailer to the water.

We try really hard to get in and out and stay out of everyone's way. I pull to the other side of the lot to tie down (somewhere where no one will need to get if possible). I know lots of you all do this to or do whatever it takes to keep the line moving.

Now don't go thinking every mean looking woman in the launch line is me either, Monte!!!! :D

I do feel your pain or at least my husband does while he's sitting out in the boat on the water in the hot sun waiting to be able to get to load the boat and get on the road!

too funny, DMW 1960!

I expected some grief from Monte over the long rant I had over people launching their boats and nothing.
