PART ONE - How NOT to launch a boat

When I got my first boat in February 2002 I spent 6 weeks getting it ready at my friends garage. Finally came the time to launch it. Well despite being competent mechanics, and engine builders, we failed to discover the small outboard had no oil pressure until too late. However the launch didnt go smoothly, as you can see. Worth the 7 years wait Ive had for the video though..really FUNNY. What a bunch of clowns LOL. Mind you, as I had never seen my boat in the water I was nervous enough already. Turn the sound up and listen to the comments LOL.

Two words.. Boat Rollers lol Glad you guys can laugh at yourselves. We have all been there done that at some time on the water. So while I sit here at the judging the inadequacies of our pommy mates, I secretly thank the universe that my own failings at boat ramps were never recorded :D

@zaq4267 Many thanks for your comments, just what I need today. This was 9 years ago, and only got to see it a couple of years ago. I'm 'the old man' and my racing mates helped take it, and took the vid. Well helped, hindered more like lol. If you fancy a read of my exploits, there is a link to my website on the homepage, and a link to boating. Thanks again, you've made my day.

Malc, I,ve got a mate from your neck of the woods and he's a funny fucker, there must be something in the water up there, I saw the second one first but this is even funnier, good work mate.

@ultrasonic101 Thanks - yes we do have our share of 'comedians' around here lol. This was 9 years ago, only got to see it a couple of years ago when had it transferred to DVD. Still see them occasionally, in fact saw both of them a couple of days ago. Graham still giggles the same. Had to split it into 3 parts. Link to my website is on my homepage, and you can read my boating tales if you like.

That thing that looks like a sign is actually the tail of the devil. He drowned there trying to get his boat launched.

@EroticCheesecake Looks like it doesn't it LOL. Chap who took the vid told me there was one there, and as it was only 4 miles or so from my mooring, and quiet seemed just the job. Thing is, it's been little used, and neglected for years. Ok for us to use with the tractor though. My friend now leases it, along with the bank and a mooring for his boat.. If you click the link to my website on the homepage, then boating, or photos, there's loads of us with boats out on there. Lovely spot.
