Today was my first launch at Gull. Wasn't busy at all ( thanks God)
Prepared boat as per " your " advice ( thanks everyone). Backed up no problem
Launch was text book
Son and I did little fishing, water was very calm.Than clouds and wind moved in.
Off we go to load boat Trayed to back up trailer that I don't see was terrible Took me 10 tries Then son tried to drive boat on trailer with strong western wind and side waves ( OMG) and missed few times . Wind and waves were just pushing him aside ( real nightmare
Somehow we managed to load it up, standing in water up to my ( you know what), fully soaked and wet, pushing against waves and wind. Luckily we had spare clothing
As we are inexperienced I believe everything will come with practice/ time.
The thing that concerns me the most is how to backup empty trailer that you don't even see? I put tailgate down and still count see trailer.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks all and have a great boating and fishing season
