Watch those slippery ramps!

Well, my peel island trip today was cut short without even getting the boat into the water. Out at Vicky Pt at 4am, backed the trailer down, took one step out of the car onto the ramp and 'thud', slipped and landed head first into the concrete ramp. Now I have a battered and bruised face, knee, and hip, and I'm off to the doctor this arvo.

King tides also means king lows and exposes those nasty shallow ends of the ramp. Will learn for next time.

So much for the last fishing trip for 2005, those squire get to survive for another year . Already have a sore head and its not even the new year yet...

that ramp is a shocker though, it's like a slick when it's exposed,

[joeT]

Kev, wish I made a video, then at least I can send it off to funniest home videos and get some cash.

Unfortunately I landed on my face and I now have a big fat shiner black eye to rock up to work with on Tuesday.

Lucky no permanent injuries, could have easily broken a nose, cracked a skull, or lost some teeth.

Can't really blame the council for the slick, its actually a fairly well looked after ramp, it was an extremely low tide and only the last 2m were slick, the rest was nice and recently blasted.

Happy new year guys, and take care on those ramps!
