Boat Ramp Play-by-Play

[Davy Crockett]

Was that by chance at Deepwater bay back in the 80's ? We did it at Deepwater , The ramp was busy and I was in a hurry so I backed in along side the ramp and unloaded, wife was going to park but she had it in R with a manual transmission , she clutched it and launched back a foot and that was all it took to get stuck. She walked down to the bait shop and Garette came and pulled us out with his tractor and wouldn't take a dime for it. Thanks Garette. It was a good lesson for both of us, slow and steady wins the race.

Later in life , with that same boat and pickup , I actually skidded the tires up a cement ramp with ease while tuning the motor. Thinking back, I could have pushed the pickup out with the boat. Live and learn.
