Many years ago at a ramp in New Bedford this guy and his friend launch the boat. Problem was that the end of the rope was not tied to the boat. As the boat slides off the trailer his buddy pulls the line, finds out nothing attached, panics and makes a flying leap for the bow rail, catches the rail really nice, but now is he hanging off of the bow with his hip waders full of water. The guy that parked the vehicle comes back to the ramp and sees his buddy hanging to the bow rail drifting out to sea due to an offshore wind and jumps in and swims out to the boat. Another boater close by came over and helped these two guys out.

A second funny story was when we showed up at theboat ramp and there is a boat on a trailer jack knifed across the ramp. We watched these two guys jack knife the trailer right and left several times. Finally the guy comes over to us and says "help me please". I hopped in his truck, backed straight down and the guy just stood there shaking his head and thanked me. The real funny part of this story is we come back from a morning of fishing and when we get to the ramp there are the same two guys with the trailer once again jack knifed on the ramp!!!
