So pulled it up the ramp straighten up and backed in again til it was floating, watched in the mirror, low and behold the boat and trailer were both drifting to the south, HUH boat is froze down to the bunks and the water at 34 degrees wasn't warm enough to break it loose. I have heard of that happening, but never experienced it myself.
Oh well it was only a mile to the ramp so was not a real waste of time or gas...
Merry Christmas to everyone....And a Happy New Year
