Boat goes in first:

Dislexia and boat launching are a difficult match!
 
I'm not gonna even -try- to figure ou how that happened...
 
Uh-oh.

That had to be a case of pulled up and got out with the car in gear by accident to prep the boat to launch or parked on the incline in neutral with no parking brake. No way is someone dumb enough to think this is how they are supposed to launch their boat. What am I saying, there is always someone dumb enough for just about anything.

Is there a story to go with the pic?
 
That way sure didn't work. I wonder who was driving; Moe, Larry, or Curly?
 
It was sent to my by email. I don't know the story.
 
Wow, that's a first. Never seen something like that before.

However, this is one reason to NOT have the kids in the CAR when launching.

http://www.fantaseayachts.com/fleet/fantasea_one.php By changing the view percentage from 100 to 200% and looking at the name of the dinner boat, appears this happened in Marina Del Ray CA.
 
At least the Sheriff didn't have to go far to check this guy's blood alcohol level.
 
Well i think he has two problems...first the truck maybe a little wet inside...two he is going to violate the 15 minute tie up limit... What the? The worst i ever did was electrocute myself trying to put up a mast w/o looking first.
 
You're supposed to launch the BOAT!!!!

Yes there ARE people dumb enough to try that... but I'd love to hear how they (tried to) explain the incident to their insurance!!!!
 
I hate to say it, but it can happen by honest accident. A friend in Idaho stopped on a mountain grade one day several years ago to talk to some friends. He put his stick shift truck in neutral, stomped on the parking brake and got out. While talking, the brake cable snapped and the truck took off. It went a long way, end over end down that mountain.........as he tells the story.
 
A friend of ours who works on the Sheriff boat here said that a Ford F-150 backed into the
water a couple years ago and when they pulled it out, it was in "Park".
 
That's a classic Mantauk. In that the tow vehicle is no longer available....is the BW for sale?
