I dock my boat and help my boy out of the boat. As I am walking I see this nice boat being put in the water at the same ramp/dock I am. There are 3 more ramps/docks so I figure they are putting in and driving as many do. By the time I am back there are 5 guys in the ramp waiting and a lady with 3 kids already in. Mind you, this boat is not quite a 21 footer i/o powered boat. Of course, as they are blocking my trailer put in I have to drive my trailer to the other side of the dock, get on my boat, drive around and pull out. I decided to let the owner know not to put in in front of a person that is taking our as it forces the taking out boater to wait until they are done or drive all the way around to take their boat out. The owner and 3 more guys (now we have 10 adults and 3 kids) show up and I engage him in conversation, "that is a nice righ..... blah, blah, btw, dont put your boat in front of an boater that is taking off, you will make it complicated..." His smile left his face and he just turn around and went to his boat doing that facial gesture that pretty much mean f(*& y*(, mind your business...
I looked and looked for the DNR officer that is usually there but to no avail. What a jack arse....

I have seen them get a few in that ramp but not as many as I wished they do. That same officer got one lady that left the ramp at wot in her pwc. She left a wake that made it a bit more work to get the boat in the trailer. Now that you mention, most of the time there are the pwc's they get speeding... anyway, hope he got it in his head...
