A few years ago I was at the Sandwich Marina on the Cape Cod Canal. Due to tides ramp is steep for a reason. I'm prepping on the sidelines (remove tie downs, gear into boat etc.) as he starts to back his 25 +- foot Grady to the water. I told him he really shouldn't remove the safety chain until he is at the water. He tells me to mind my own f-n business, that he's been boating 30 years blah-blah-blah. Nooooooo problem. Einstein backs to the crest of the ramp, wheels go on to the slope of the ramp, boats launches by itself just b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l-y on to the ashpalt. 25 feet or so from the water. Took 8 marina guys to shoulder it down the ramp under the bow. Nice white chalk line on the pavement where parts of his hull were, right into the water. Who says there is no God?
