Just as much fun as watching a busy boat launch. :)
Hard to find anything better than the goings-on at a busy summer boat ramp. DW & I love sitting on the side, watching the show. Too often it's better at the ramp than being on the lake. Lots of non-friendly-to-younger-kids atmospheric disturbances...
The large public boat ramp on Shelter Island in San Diego is right across the street from our Yacht Club. On Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day we would pack a small cooler and take a couple of folding chairs over to watch the carnage. Launching was fun but the main event was always late in the day when all of these folks who use their boats about twice a year returned to the ramp. The wait for an opening would often be an hour and a lot of folks just could not be bothered with waiting their turn.
:B
That's funny.
Been there (in San Diego) and watched that many times. Then just for the holidays sake, ADD ALCOHOL, and . . . . lots of it. I try to be helpful when I can, but, you really have to know when the situation has gone too far. (hint: SDPD start to circle) Gotta go!
