Thought I would pass on my little horror story. I was launching my boat by myself at a new launch for me on the Fraser River. The launch is not a good launch but it is free. Limited parking and a natural ramp. There are lots of hollows at the end of the ramp where the #^$%%!*&^ jet boaters pin the throttles to land their rigs and dig big holes in the river bank. So I have offered to take a friend of a friend sturgeon fishing and i am running a bit late. I hit the launch line before a few other guys but I am by myself. I un hook everything and and back the truck down into the river. The boat does not come free and I notice I am at abad angle for launching and the boat is not coming of the trailer. So I disengage the winch lock to try and move the boat. Sickday does not want to move so I figure that I am in the wrong position and I need t move. So i pull the truck up an reposition. Problem is that I forgot to secure the winch!!!. As the trailer drops into the jet wash hole the boat falls back and the winch cable spins like crazy and then I see the bow sticking up in the air like it is a space shuttle. Cool! Not! Lcuily there was no damage and some great guys helped me put her back on the trailer. I relaunched and then had agreat day sturgeon fishing.
