After having an electrician who acts like he beats his third wife throw a tantrum the other day that I and another truck were staged above the ramp to back down next because there wasn't enough room for him to pull straight forward (there 100% was lol), I figured I would make this PSA. There's a whole-ass area specifically made for tying your boat down that doesn't require interacting with the traffic that is preparing to launch or pull. To the right, directly at the top of the ramp. Super convenient, almost like they paid expert consultants to design the facility.
The harbor could definitely have better signage following all the construction so I get infrequent boaters still learning about the tie down area. What I don't get is being an ignorant (and incorrect) asshole, particularly when your business name is on the side of your truck.
Side note: does anyone feel like forming a class action suit against the whale harassment fleet over their wakes getting saltwater on our trucks? Used to be scandalous when someone caused wake to slosh several feet up the ramp, we should make that the case again. Watched another boat a few weeks ago get hit by their wake just as it was getting up to the bow stop and guy almost lost a finger.
Oh, and the trailer spots over in the tie down section are shorter that the others, if you have a triple axle and there are other sections with spots available, use them.
