Boat ramps
Submitted by Shark B8 on Sun, 2013-01-27 18:28
Today launching my boat at my local ramp, two boats were parked up in the rigging lane buggerising around. these people need to expect to b past by people that already have there shite together? These two clowns then proceded to yell abuse at me once I had parked my car and was on my way back to the boat with the kids!! By the time I had dropped the boat in the water, parked up the car and loaded up the mrs and kids, they still didn't look any closer to being ready to launch! No need for this crap guys I just had a good laugh at em. Hope they forgot to put there bungs in.

Yeah mate there are plenty of
idiots around the ramps who think it is fine to go as slow as they like and hold everyone up... Very frustrating at times...
To all those people get ur Shite together before you hit the ramp...
I've spent half my life fishing.. The other half I have wasted..

In the same respect I use
In the same respect I use the de-rigging bays to take transport straps off, tilt motor, put up canopy then hit the ramp ASAP... My problem is people who come straight past and proceed to park up in the launch lanes and then de-rig while I am now supposed to wait with a ready boat???
I now take the attitude of whatever and just try to stay out of the way of the idiots and let them do their thing, if it means I get out 10mins later then so be it. I just find its not worth getting upset over, If you do then boating is simply not going to be an enjoyable experience because the number of idiots is far greater than the number of spots on a busy ramp

And then there was the
And then there was the dipstick who made everyone think he was going to jump the queue coming into maylands boat ramp after skyshow. he had a shiney new fibreglass boat probably about $100K+ .... copped a mouthful from several, including me, but decided to hover about three boat lengths from the jetty rather than at his spot in the queue of a dozen or more, making all decent waiting folk feel very uneasy. If that bozzo is reading this.... i'm not as precious about my working condition aluminium boat as you would be about your solution for having a small penis. i would have been quite prepared to put my boat between yours and the jetty if the need had arised, at the expense of your shiney gelcoat. Next time, stop being a cock and just sit in your position in the queue like everyone else was doing very patiently, friendly and quietly.
Fish! HARD!

I dont have a $100k boat but
I dont have a $100k boat but I haven't owned it very long ( well i have owned it for a while just Not used it as much as i should have) and still getting used to getting it where it needs to go and where it wants to go. I am not looking forward to having to q up to get out and I would feel much better to go sit off to the side and not hit someones else's boat because I don't know wtf I'm doing.
Guess it's damed if you do damned if you don't. I apologise in advance if I Ever hit anyone's boat from here when I q up.

I understand your point, and
I understand your point, and good on you for acknowledging a lack of experience. that will come in time. and the best thing to do in a queue situation, is verbally identify with the boat that appears to be last in the queue and acknowledge you will follow them. that way, no matter where you put your boat, if someone questions you, you say "yep, thank you i am after such'n'such boat back there, i am just waiting here out of everyone's way. thanks again..." the instance i spoke about was a joker that tried, by stealth (bit difficult in such a stand out boat) to move forward in the queue without acknowledge there was a queue. it was pure arrogance and just being a real cock. added to that, once it was pointed out to him, by more than one boat, he claimed he was doing no wrong and his intoxicated deckhands (that's being nice), proceeded to give everyone advice on how to reverse a trailer, or get the boat on the trailer whilst they all consumed more un-needed beer. in summmary they were being absolute cocks!
