Pulled into Sweetwater Marina early one morning, and my buddy and I commenced to loading gear, unstrapping the boat, talking with the guys working around there, getting our sweetwater special, general early morning excited hustle. We backed the boat down the ramp and into the water. Kept going back, and as the trailer went deeper into the water, the back of the boat started to drag under too. Water started pouring over the back. Only then did I realize that I had only taken off one of the two straps that hold the back of the boat down and the second one was dragging me down with the trailer. Damn near sunk the boat at the ramp. The sweetwater guys got a kick out of that.
