It's comical to watch busy boat ramps, and Him haulers at the ramp...Just got to bite your lip and laugh at some of these folks. Allot of folks are just getting into boating, by themselves and learning, elderly, maybe just take the boat out twice a year and like you said no common sense. Put these folks into a hurry up or busy situation at the boat ramp and it's hard to tell what will happen next. I remember having to help two lady's get their boat onto a trailer after their first attempt almost landed their boat over top of the winch and into the back of the bed of their truck. They had their trailer backed up way to far in the water. I took the time to show them how to properly load their boat. These two lady's were out trying to crappie fish by them self's and you could tell they were not experienced at the ramp. I had to help them out. When you run into time delays at the ramp it is almost always someone who is not experienced at launching and loading or boating in general. If i see anybody having problems I try to help them out and even gave the lady's a good part of my catch to take home as they did not catch much. I wanted to encorage them to keep trying. I later saw the same ladys back fishing and catching thier own fish and loading and unloading their boat in the proper manner. More times than not it will speed things along in a safe manner if you take the time to help out. I kinda look at boat ramps as "Hey we all had to start somewhere and learn and even the best boaters in the world can have problems or make a mistake at the boat ramp". I have made a few over the years that took some time to fix. Thinking this way eases my pain and helps with not getting too mad at these folks while at the dreaded public boat ramp. LOL
