Port Kennedy ramp this morning
Submitted by Dougo on Mon, 2016-01-04 10:22
Bet this guy thought how good is this:
- New boat and trailer (trailer still has sellers name on it) to have first launch.
- everyone else parked miles away and left this nice parking spot for me.
- Will be nice and easy when I get back.
it was there for 2 hours that I know of, when we went to pull our pots and it copped a lot of verbal abuse while we were listening.
Some people really should not have boats.

Learning Curve
Its all a new learning curve when you get a new boat and sadly some people have no intention of learning how to do it properly or don't have the mental capacity do it and stuff what everyone else feels or does

Give a block so slack - poor
Give a bloke so slack - poor bugger probably thought exactly what was in the text. Im sure he wont be doing it again if he copped some flack.
Just have to laugh at some antics. Bloke came back from crabbing onto Bouvard ramp. 10 people waiting to get out. Pulls boat out of water after what I thought was a good quick retreive. But ONLY pulls boat out to top off ramp. Stops, gets out, unloads bags etc etc and starts tying down. Then confronted by the waiters in the line yelling abuse at him for blocking the show. There is a perfectly good area 50m up where you can do this sort of stuff without blocking anyone.

The swimmers , kids jumping
The swimmers , kids jumping in front of the boat while trying to berth and people with crab pots is a real pain at that boat ramp.

more money
than brains! It shouldn't need to be sign posted. Commonsense would surely prevail?
and the people parking ON the ramp. They have the nerve to "sigh and huff" when you ask them to move.
Also copped to the 2 in a row yesterday of blokes parking at the top of the ramp after retrieving to tie down and unload rods and shit and chat about the weather.
You got to wonder.

last year down at that ramp
last year down at that ramp near The Left Bank around Australia Day, the ranger was parked there, sitting in his car with his mate, mid morning.
And didn't bat an eyelid when one after another anyone with a boat bigger than about 7M had to do multiple manoeuvres to get straight to back down the ramp.
After retrieving and parking out of sight I went and tapped on his window to ask him if he realised the drama behind him.
Cant remember the exact words but the implication was "what ever mate".
Give a man a mask, and he'll show you his true face...
The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.

A quick photo with the mobile phone
I'm getting an education lately of just how strong a powerful message the taking a photo of someone doing something naughty has.
From people taking undersize fish and crabs to parking in Accrod parking spaces without a sticker.
It generally results in instant action being taken by the fool to do what is the right thing, however you should always be wearing your addidas runners when you do this.
Because if you are over the hill in so far as getting engaged in a bit of physical explaining the situation to the drop kick you may need to demonstrate how you won your high school cross country running championship.

How many times do you see
How many times do you see beach goers parked at the turning bay of the number one ramp? And the Hobbie cats completely rigging their boat there too. .
Fish! HARD!
