Does anyone remember when we used to help each other at the boat launch?

Hold a rope, guide a trailer in, lend a helping hand. Pulled clear of the ramp to remove the drain and install the rear tie down straps. It was a much less stressful experience.

Last summer at the Laurier launch on the NSR I was there with the dog. River was high and fast. A fellow by himself putting his jet boat in seemed to be having issues. I asked if I could lend a hand. He told me it wasn’t his first rodeo then slipped off his trailer and his boat ended up on the rocks. Hurt himself pretty good. Caught a bolt on his shin and had a pretty good cut. He didn’t mind a hand after that. Together we loaded the boat and he left without so much as a thanks.
