Tuesday at Cal Point boat launch had know shortage of inconsiderate people. When we arrived to trailer the boat, the launch was busy with folks doing the same. For the most part each launch had a vehicle/trailer back down. Invariably several of those who trailered their boats and pulled out STOPPED in the concrete area. A person had to ask themselves do you not see the line of trucks and trailers waiting to pull around and back down? Even had one stop at the top of the lauch ramp to prep his boat after coming out of the water rendering that ramp useless until he decided move.
Had another bay boat occupy a ramp for an extended time due to not being able to accurately navigate the boat onto the trailer. I did extend a tip to this person. When you are trailering your bay boat trim your motor down for better control at low speed. This person had their motor trimmed way up causing the boat to wander all over. Did not know Cal Point water depth was so shallow to warrant trimming the motor way up...LOL
