Boat ramp stories are almost legend. I was in Essex, Mass. a few years ago. Guy had a new Cadillac Escalade, new very expensive boat that he was trying to retrieve. He didn't know how to back up his trailer, a fairly common starting point for trouble. He was screaming at his wife who was trying to hold the boat lines on the dock and direct him at the same time. In part because he was a screamer nobody wanted to help, but we all wanted to watch. Well to make a long story short, the Cadillac ended up underneath the boat in 20 plus feet of saltwater, the bow of the boat was pulled straight down with stern up (the boat was literally vertical, we are talking about a 28 foot Pursuit for those of you who know boats), just an amazing sight. The Coast Guard Auxillary guys were there doing courtesy safety inspections and one old guy said he thought he has seen it all, but this was unique.
Boat, car, and marriage were all a total loss.
