Launching a boat the hard way

From: Goran

When my mate first told me this story I almost fell over laughing.

It all started when he took the bloke across the road fishing. He said, "Steve, I'll reverse the boat and you push it into the water and make sure you hang onto it".

"Yeah, no worries mate, I've done this a hundred times".

So as the trailer entered the water, Steve pushed the boat, but he didn't realise it would roll off the trailer so fast. He tried to hang on to the bow rail dragging him in first up to his knees, and then flat on his face.

The funny thing was he had 20 metres of rope tied to the boat that was in his hand the whole time!

If you have been to Warneet before, you'd know it's all mud and trust me he was covered head to toe.
