Are you sure you have your ramp and wind direction correct? A North wind at Beach Point would be protected. A South wind would be a nightmare.
Heard it was East wind..
Hate to hear someone had trouble and hope everyone is alrite.
Its a hard decision but sometimes you shouldnt put yourself in harms way. Made that decision last fall on Nader, call the COE office and let them handle it. They had way more boat than I did and the conditions were bad enuff I didnt think I could get to em without putting my life in danger, with the help of the COE we all made it home safe and sound.
Calling the COE don't work on Sardis
I was told after it was over that if I had not reached them that the next step was to call the Sheriff's office.Quote:

Our group is pretty good, had a lady ranger get her ankle broke last year trying to help some folks. Hate to hear that is the response at Sardis, kinda scary.
East or NE wind is bad on that ramp. Had to pull a buddy off the rocks early Saturday morning. Needless to say he had a little extra water in his boat to start the day by the time we got him into water where he could motor. Dang wind!!

Was a NE wind blowing into the ramp. Saw lots of gewbers using that ramp. Weather man was dead on about it too. Guess some folks don't know any better.

Ok maybe I'm wrong. I was out there at daylight and it felt like a north wind to me. I was so dang cold!! It had some east in it but I would say from 6 til 9 it was nne. Guy that tried to help said the man had pulled his boat up to the ramp and left boat unattended only to return to a boat near capsized with water. Water was lapping over the sides. Sounded like a bad deal. Not sure how they got it out.
