Squid crash

So I figures a launch before first light would avoid the Asian fleets chaotic ramp antics...
Not! There where as many boats coming in as going out, looked like that scene from jaws.... boats coming in had small generators onboard with the huge flood lights for fishing still on, trucks running and pointed in every direction with lights on, through in a dense fog , boats tied to the float not leaving enough room for the next launch....

The next thing I know I back my empty trailer into another,,,, crash, there goes 50 bucks for a new LED, the other guy had more damage...
I left my phone number on their windshield with no call yet....

It was like bumper cars trying to get out into open water with all the boats coming back but finally got settled in and loaded up on the squid....

Then there’s the clean up, Was it worth it? I dun no ;-),

Stalling time b 4 the gym... :-), Gup

that sucks..kind of ruins the mood...Front hitch is your friend... especially on a busy ramp like that.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
