[Let um land]

Pulled the 25' Cape Horn from the house(5 miles east of Opelousas) to the camp in Pecan Island, then to Fresh water City the next morning with no problems. Fished all day and loaded the boat on the trailer, and back to the camp we went, one problem. Any of you who fish out of there know the little concrete bridge just after making the second curve? Well imagine seeing the hitch coupling in the rear view mirror as you feel the load just lift off the truck as we cross said bridge. Luckily, damage was minimum, I pictured truck and boat upside down in the marsh as it was happening. Someone unlatched the trailer, the design of the hitch had a huge catch in the pull ring that locked it in place, was not designed for a lock or pin to be needed. Moral- always check you trailer. The guy in the flat bed dually crossing us had a show.
