There is no doubt that people watching is the cheapest and most entertaining way to spend your time.
If you add to this a perfect autumn day, a boat-ramp and a procession of men showing off the manhood through the size of their boats and their maritime skills …then it’s been a perfect day. 
Their need to abide by boat ramp etiquette… while being speedy and executing a ‘precision launch’ (because everyone is watching) is a recipe for disaster… Not to mention more than a few laughs (well polite sniggers) from the onlookers.
From the shocking attempt to reverse in a straight line….and ending up the gutter…, to letting go of the rope and having the boat float ‘just out of reach’ … it’s a laugh a minute.
So if you are every feeling low and need that little something to give you a lift, take a chair, your sunblock and your dark sunglasses to hide behind… and head to the nearest boat ramp.
