Donna Piraino Rants About The Dun Fudgin Boat Ramp

Donna writes-

Boating is supposed to be FUN…right? We use our boats to ride to the beach & play in the sun, dance in the water and spend time with friends & family. Some use boats to head out on the water and enjoy the many types of fishing available to us. The boat ramp at the High School is a GREAT way to get our boats in and out of the water with ease. There is room for THREE boats wide, yup THREE, trucks, trailers and boats can all fit side by side with LOTS of room to spare. Obviously, the center needs two competent operators…one to drive the truck/trailer and one to drive the boat. For those who needs to tie their boats off to the side, those using the CENTER are in NO WAY interfering with those on the sides. If directed by the gentleman on duty at the boat ramp on any given day, we wait our turn and use THE MIDDLE. When we pull the boat out, we use THE MIDDLE. Lets all play nice at the ramp, OK? I won’t give folks a dirty look or make snide comments if they need to use the sides. The gentleman launching the Dories today called me a name I’d rather not print here…yup, I was using THE MIDDLE of the ramp. The nerve of me! Using the boat ramp to it’s fullest potential! Taking advantage of the Boat Ramp sticker that I purchased! WOW! What nerve I have! Let’s just play nice, OK. We can all enjoy the beautiful waters of Gloucester without the drama at the boat ramp. Just sayin’…
