How 'bout the guy racing past everyone to be the first at the ramp? Then it takes him 20-25 minutes to get in the water because he had to set everything up on the ramp before getting the boat wet?

I leave a little earlier, take my time, stop for the Texaco coffee, and listen to the tunes, My life (job) is stressful enough without having to worry about getting where I am going before anyone else. I get my fishing in...

My "simple rules."

1) Leave earlier
2) Enjoy the experience..especially with the family along. Life is too short!
3) Never launch at Pt Defiance (especially in July).
