Puget Sound/Seattle NW Area Riders Meet HERE!!!

we got back to the swinomish launch at about 12-1 pm to find about 20 boats jogging in the current waiting to use the launch
it was low tide and only about 5 feet of the launch dock was in the water and no other wat to tie up while you got your trailer
so,,,,what you had to do to pull your boat out was,,,,drop off a driver and keys,,,,,then get in line behind about 15 trucks/trailers waiting in front of you
Marcy dropped off josh,,,,who got the trailer. I pulled up along a log boom and walked the boom to shore and got my own trailer.
We waited in the water for about 40 minutes,,,and in line for the launch about another 30 minutes.
SOOOO,,,,,,this one guy,,,,is with his 2 or 3 kids who all look under 6. He has dilemna, because he has nowhere to leave his boat while he waits in line for 30 minutes. So,,,,he pulls his boat to the end of the dock,,,,ties it up in the only space available,,,,,and informs the next guy,,,,"too bad,,,,your just gonna have to wait". He goes and gets his truck,,,pulls in front of the entire line,,,,and yanks his boat out of the water.
Most people would have asked for assistance from one of the 15 people spectating (excuse me sir,,,can you watch my boat while i tie off to this log boom). Then he could have taken his kids,,,put them in the truck and waited for his boat.
I was actually thinking of asking my dad to fake a heart attack so we could get away with pulling out right away.
anyhow,,,,,marcie almost strung the guy up by his sac
he seemed like a real charmer,,,,,setting a good example for his kids yelling and cussing at a woman in public

Of course I told his little chickin butt off!

Jim, this is why I have my kids race, the ball and stick sports depend too much on another childs performance. Here my kids can show their ability, with only my tuning/ setup to blame a failure on. ( that hardly ever happens, 1 time in two years) who's job its it to send these kids off properly? I did my part, the track staff failed horribly.
I guess we go back to archery, we can do team shoots. Did you folks know that taternuts was a ranked archer in Virgina when we in the Army? She really shines shooting sticks downrange [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Willie......Let it pass for your kids sake.....Karma comes around to all that do bad by or to others......
I've seen your boys in action and they display the love for racing.......Keep that love for racing alive for them and let the knukleheads that are there for whatever reason (and it's not for the love of this sport) get theirs........

MB sorry to hear about your kids experience it is not fair and they where cheated but I have to agree with BigD, don't pull your kids from a sport they love because of one bad incident. The world is not fair and it is best they realize that from the start.
