Right on ramps!
Right you are JG.
People don't seem to use common courtesy on the ramps any more than on the docks.
Last year I was towing a boat into the Lee's Mills ramp. This was quite obvious for various reasons.
Just as I was approaching the tini-tiny dock some happy boater pulled down the ramp and just sat there. Half in and half out. Since backing up was not an option I had to pull a quick, somewhat dangerous, maneuver to turn away from the ramp and began to do a 15 minute dosi-doe around the pond.
As I did so I noticed what the hold up was. He had six kids lined up like little duckies in front of the porta-poti and refused to launch until each and every one or them had "checked their tanks"! He wouldn't even launch and go to the public docks!? 'Just kind of waved with a goofy smile.
While I approve of his environmental zeal, a little common sence would have helped.
