I still think of the two Oriential gentleman from Bremerton who launched their brand new fiber glass inboard/outboard boat about half way down the Fort Worden boat ramp on a minus tide a number of years ago. They were backing down the ramp hit their brakes and launched it on the ramp.

I can also remember more than one boat owner at the same ramp who had jumped line on boats waiting to get at the launch dock coming back with their trailer to pick up their boat only to find it floating some distance from the from the ramp dock some of the old boys up here played a little ruff especially if someone jumped line and there was twenty or thirty boats waiting in line to ge to the dock.
