We have a private launch at our place on Erie.
Only residents can use it.
This is killer.
Not the best ramp in the world, but it's ours and not a ton of traffic typically.
Only one dock, but it handles a boat on either side.
But every once in a while...........
Last year I was waiting to pull out.
I was circling the boat about 50 yds off the end of the dock waiting for a guy pulling out his jet ski.
Then he proceeds to start washing it.
Right there along side the dock on the ramp.
I hollered to him that if he didn't move it immediately I was gonna shoot a flare at it and him.
Everyone at the ramp told him I would do it.
He didn't say anything just quickly stopped what he was doing and yanked it out and up the hill.
Later I went wandering thru our place and located him.
I calmly explained to him launch ramp etiquette.
He was appreciative of me at least being calm and doing this.
Initially, I wanted to slap him in the face with my boat paddle.
40 yrs ago Donna and I went with her sister and BIL to SMH in Buffalo on a Saturday in mid October.
We took beverages and a lunch and sat down at a picnic table near the launch ramp.
Great entertainment!!!
The people here typically only use the trailer 2X a year.
Once to put the boat into the water in the spring and once more to take it out in the Fall.
The things we saw were epic.
It was the best entertainment in the world.
I swear some of those couples ended up divorced later that day.
Hilarious!!!
