Boat Ramps

[NP99]

I've had the boat out up at Bribie Island the last 2 days. Everyone at the ramp was helping guide each other, pulling and aligning trailers etc. a lot of times I've seen people just stare and not help. It must be the holiday spirit

good to see better to help someone get done quickly , then to get a case of ramp rage , only thing that gets on my goat is when people get to the ramp park at the top and then get the boat ready ,

I agree mate, that's what the rigging bays are for. Ramp rage is crazy sometimes!

X3, its amazing the amount of people that don't start the boat till its off the trailer, then dick around holding everyone up, only to winch it back on the trailer again !


Oh, ill just wait till i get to the water to see if the battery needs charging (lol)

There's a private double concrete ramp at Bulimba I use sometimes, makes life easier.

I launch and retrieve alone a lot and I can't remember anyone ever offering to help. Except for one old bloke looked 105 so I got him to hold the rope while I get the car. Funny old bugger still holding on to the rope when I got back.
I should have told that the boat was tied anyway and he was just holding the tag end of the rope. I said thanks, he said your welcome. But to actually have someone help me, no, even if I go with mates, even they don't help.
Not saying that I need help, my little tinny is easy on my own.
