Had to laugh today, as they say "A picture says a thousand words"
Note the poor barstard in the background, that was waiting at least 20 mins, for the fiasco to end!

looks like a shambles!
I now know why I avoid NOR ramps! LOL
At least the ramps SOR are somewhat organised chaos.

worst ramp
last time i was down there retrieving my boat i got abused because i was trying to retieve my boat in the retrivel lane whilst some idiot was trying to launch in the same lane. I pointed out to him that it was a retrievel only lane and he took that as "fighting words". Some clueless people around thats forn sure!!

Jet skiiers are pretty common launching in the retrieval lane for some reason. Maybe its a newbie thing.

It was funny, as i heard the young pommy guy, say to his mum, when he was trying to back the trailer in with the green car... say. "how can the trailer turn, when i keep the car straight"
I just pulled the piss out of him and said " The ramp shuts at 6pm mate, you have plenty of time"

Those launch and retrieval
Those launch and retrieval lanes are funny business at boat ramps,,although i never use boatramps myself i was at Pt Peron one day,,a dozen boats quequed up to launch with the retrival bays lying unused at that time of morning.

long weekends
was told once that if you want a great entertaining day, get a deck chair, eski /drinks and set up next to any boat ramp on a summer longweekend around 10am
FRom slips and falls, fights, road rage, boat rage, parking meter rage, jack knifes, collisions, boats stuck on trailers, bungs left out, wheres the winch handle??, boats slipping off trailers into the ocean, boats slipping off trailers into the concrete and all kinds of other entertainment.
But i could imagine laughing out loud you could have some silverback gorilla in speedos chasing after you.

I like the worried look of the guy on the left ramp in
the red shorts. He looks like he chewing his nails to the quick (Lol).

My boat backs directly onto
My boat backs directly onto the mindarie ramp. Many afternoons we will sit and watch the entertainment. Sorry to say guys but its more often the boaters that cock it up than the skiers.
Often you feel for life and limb as people throw themselves at the jettyies with a rope, only to have the boat still in gear or reverse. On a few very busy occasions have jumped and loaded boats for people before they lose their heads from other locals..
Theyre not new ski's, very old infact. I'd say one goes onto the back of the truck as well as trailer so thats why he's locked it over.
My pet hate for hillarys are the tools who shoot behind you as your reversing. Bikes, other cars or walkers. Also i always stop at the first point just near the ticket machine and access the ramps and others, at this point i will normally have two or three people drive staright past me and just push in..Thats annoying also.

Very Entertaining
I know what you mean Rod ,I used to own a 28' that was penned at this ramp .
You couldn't have got better entertainment on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon than
sitting in the back of the boat with a few brews .
