Bob F Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Apparently, a novel approach to retrieving a Warrior 165 was observed at Baiter slip last weekend. The method is to time your return to the slip for exactly low water on a spring tide when there is absolutely no water covering the concrete. A time to return to sea for a spot more fishing you would think...but there's no U turns for this man! You can simply drive your car with trailer to the end of the slip without having to submerge the car in water. Great idea!! The trailer is then pushed off the ledge at the end of the slip and into a couple of feet of water, and the boat winched onto the trailer. All going VERY smoothly. And then you simply drive away... Except that you've got a big ledge to pull the trailer over, and the slip is wet...ooops!! But fear not, with the help of the ever helpful passersby and the odd snapped rope, our entrepid pioneering Member honed his new technique to an art and was soon on his way home, even if the wife was blasting him in the ear all the way!! So, if this technique sounds "Enticing", why not give it a go next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Hi Bob Sounds like this member needs to have a MARKed improvement in his recovery skills or he should at least find new ways to ENTICE his boat onto the hard stuff Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
