    Default Qualified Captain moment going down

    Sailboat stuck in the sand @ Litchfield beach. Stuck good from what I hear.
    At least I'm housebroken.

    Dang it boy. I saw one this morning on the Qualified Captains' "story" at Lake Murray Dam. Dude in KRT money maker white truck had his buddy holding up the trailer and walking it to the ramp while attached to the truck. Guess the truck owner was scared to back with the crowd.

    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I might be reading it wrong Rion but I'm trying to envision this in my head and it's just not making sense of it.

    Prolly more like "couldn't". Seen it at the hill way to many times. A grown man who can't back a boat down a ramp is just plain sad.

    Imagine you picking up the ass end of the boat trailer while still hooked to the truck and walking it backwards guiding us as you go. I'll see if I can find it again.

    Low profile tires and squatting in the back. Go figure

    I saw the fool at Litchfield yesterday when he got there. He came sailing up the beach N and when he got to Litchfield Inn he got in tight to the beach, just past the second bar. He dropped his sail and turned around under power. He then drove in two circles and dropped his anchor straight down just barely beyond that bar, maybe 10 feet deep there. A couple guys swam back and forth to the beach. Guess it didn’t end so well for him. Idiot.

    When I worked at Ripley Light Marina years ago, we would call them WAFI'S- Wind Assisted Fucking Idiots. They would pull up to the marina in their little inflatables and want to buy a gallon of gas or use our shower. We would run them off, sometimes with the water hose. We would find their little boats hidden amongst the sportys or tied up on a dock and untie them and push them off the dock and laugh when they got back and couldn't find their inflatables. Seen a many of them have to swim to get their little boats back.
