...a long time ago <<like 2 weeks>>, ...while in a hurry to get her in,
thinking I had everything all set....I backed the trailer into the water...saw her butt-end floating...the front tie-down rope in my partners hand and started pulling out. Nope, she's still on...boat must not have been in far enough...backed up again, a little deeper...saw more of her floating, pulled out again,,, she was still hanging on...
...thinking, "I'll get you this time B@#$H!, ....I backed in for the 3rd time and just before gunning it, realized the safety chain was still connected to the bow/keel cleat.......yeah, It's all fun until somebody gets hurt....we were both eye-balling the rear and never thought to look at the bow...the play in the chain gave the impression she was loose....always an adventure.
