Two Geezers ES'd their boat

at Teckville ramp today. I didn't see it happen but when I went to back my trailer in their 15' Bumble Bee was sitting in the middle of the ramp, about twenty feet from the water. When I went to help, Geezer #1 was trying to back the trailer under the boat while Geezer #2 was winching. I asked Geezer #2 what happened, and he said they were trying to load the boat in the hurricane force winds and the waves picked the boat up and tossed it twenty feet up the ramp. Riiiiiiight. They either ES'd it or Geezer #2 missed the trailer and hit the ramp doing about 30 mph. Anyway, Geezer #2 wasn't having any luck winching the boat on the trailer, so I took over his position. About this time Geezer #1 decided it would be more efficient to put the Ford in reverse and punch it and push the boat back down the ramp and into the lake. Darn near ran over me. I'll have to give him credit; it was a whole lot easier to load once it was floating.

Seriously, I started to snap some pics. But I was afraid one of those Geezers would pop a cap in my tail.

Geezer is an understatement. These fellers were several years past having any business being out in conditions like today. Not saying age has anything to do with ability, these fellers were in way over their heads.
