Yep, you couldn't pay me to be out on the water this weekend. If I wasn't working, I'd have a cooler and a lawn chair at the ramp, though.
I went to the Surf City Soundside Park ramp this afternoon and wasn't disappointed. There was a sailboat tied up on the inside of the ramp courtesy dock with a good half dozen folks apparently waiting for somebody to show up. It was like waiting for Godot. I know they were there a good 45 minutes before the guy they were waiting for arrived. In the meanwhile, one of the local characters decided to point out the error of their ways. The people on the boat weren't taking the lecture in ramp courtesy very well when Godot finally arrived. Then he and our local hero got into it: first words, then heated words, followed by a shove, a shove back and then a knife got pulled. The local pulled his own blade out and the sailor decided to put his away. Then more words between them as they alternately puffed up and retreated.
As I said to another local watching this with me: "You can't pay money for entertainment like this."
The sailboat finally eased away from the dock and the local guy involved in the altercation gave them a good view of his stern as he ignored the "No Wake" sign.
Every day a new adventure....
3-4ft rollers today with rain. They are saying 5-7ft (S.C.A.) tomorrow. Not going to be able to enjoy the lake this labor day unless we go over to the very crowded bay. Not really worth it.
