And turn your truck lights off at night!!! blinds folks from backing in.

I fish by myself a lot so I tie up the launch while I park the boat and get back to move the truck, I try to be quick about it. I once found a truck and trailer backed down in the water with no boat in sight. After I launched and parked I went by the rig and the truck was running! I should have parked it for him but it wasn't a busy day so I just turned it off so he wouldn't idle away all of his gas. Mrs. Elaine said it happens every so often. What gets my goat is the aluminum boats that launch and tie off on the rail leaving their boat in the launch while they park. Some people - don't let them steal your joy. I'm not overjoyed with the tugs that whiz by and rock the dock either. One thing that I will warn you guys about- Mrs Elaine tells me that on busy weekends rods and reels are stolen out of boats in the parking lot while the owners are cleaning their fish. Since she told me that I tie off my boat on the back side near the cleaning station while I do the fillet duty.

Working on "NO WAKE" bouys at the present time. IMO it is way past time for them.

Thanks for the warning about stolen rods. There are always some low lifes hanging around looking to steal.

I usually clean fish with the boat in the slip by the cleaning station.
I don't want to hog the other side of the dock where the boats launching
need a spot.

They do it cause they can. I see that a lot during the summer.
They don't patrol much that far South much in the winter.
You do it to them and they write you up.
