Where not to moor your boat and leave it unattended for half an hour.

Excellent idea, I hear the diving is great in jail.

Do you take everything you read on a message forum on the internet that seriously? :shocked2:

You'd think if someone spends money on a boat, any size, they'd take the time to learn boat ramp etiquitte.

Speaking as someone who launches at a ramp 4 or 5 days a week, I can say that most people who use ramps don't have a friggin' clue about etiquette. Not all, but most.

fstbttms, if what you say is true at the ramp you use, I'd say maybe a sign explaining the rules of the ramp be posted at the place the ramp fee is collected.

For the record I'm not a fan of signs but if most people don't know the rules, something has to be done to educate them. Preferably in an affordable way that requires none or next to no govt participation and minimal impact on those who do the right thing.

The internet is serious business.

I frequent at least 5 different ramps in various cities in the San Francisco East Bay Area. Some are free, some as much as $15.00/use. It doesn't matter which ramp, too many boaters with too little experience often make for a frustrating ramp experience. And with the weather warming up, the fun is only beginning.

Why not just move it for them?

I agree, if the boat was in my way, I would have moved it. Otherwise I would ignore it.

It's not a federal offense, so it's not the Coasties turf.

BTW, by comparing notes with someone who came in after I left,
they are there at least an hour and fifteen minutes.

Isn't the BW ramp owned by the Feds or is it only the jetty part?

Giving them the benefit of the doubt? We're they diving the boat ramp? First tank on the left side, second on the right?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

They had dive flags out, maybe they were diving there?
