This happened to a dear friend of mine in PI. My buddies came back from fishing and were loading the boat. One being a rookie, the owner of the boat told him to hold the bow line while he backs the trailer down. Well i guess his eyesight was failing, because when the person turned around to back his boat down, he looks at his buddy, pulling with all of his might the rope, face red, as the boat is drifting away from the dock.
He was pulling on a rope that was tied to a cleat on the launch!!!!!!
A short swim later, they were back at the launch!
