This is very informative. I did not even realize wifey would have tasks. The one thing about my GF is that she can barely sit still. We have her do lots of spin class. But, I am not sure she will be jazzed by boat life. Me, I could drop anchor, put on shades, lie out or read and be happy as a clam.
FINALLY ! Video shows some competent boaters. My wife can Captain the boat or back the trailer. She will even take the boat to the lake with her friends. Just floors me watching people on this channel who can't even throw a rope much less get to the dock cleanly. 😮😮
@1:55: that was an awesome save. No shame in that. Bail and move. I wouldn't have done it without someone on the wheel, but the crew all seemed to be understanding of their... exposure and needs.
My mom could back a trailer better than my dad and my dad was the one who taught her lol straight shot down the ramp at 10mph every time almost every time we loaded or launched someone came over to give her props
2:10 Maybe reverse isn't working, that would explain wanting to drift in slowly. I would've given it another forward bump before leaving the helm, but he pulled it off fine.
My boat has a small outboard with no reverse and no neutral (small sailboat) and this is how we have to approach docks. Can be pretty tricky in places with small or busy courtesy docks as you have to commit to docking and hope nobody gets in your way, because bailing on an approach is almost impossible once committed.
@@gregmanning8967 I have one of those, a 2HP. The 'reverse' with those motors is to spin them 180 degrees. It's not as easy as shifting, but it works. It can work better than a traditional outboard because it offers more maneuverability, but the learning curve is sharper.
Wind is something that you learn to deal with in boating the same as the water some never understand how to deal with either of these common events when trying to operatea boat.
Back in the mid 90's I was sailing on the east end of Long Island where the tall ships visited. Went to the city dock so we could tour the boats and my sister tried jumping from the bow to the dock. NOT a good idea on a sailboat! Her jump pushed the bow away from the dock and she landed on the edge of the dock and then into the water. Ambulance took her to the hospital and she's had pain in that area of her thigh ever since. She was eager to help and learned her lesson the hard way. The next year we sailed south from Sanibel and spent 8 days cruising in the area, so the mishap did not deter her from joining me.
It appears as if the jet ski was waiting to pick up a passenger (seen walking down the dock)…so not as big of deal if there wasn’t any boats/trailers in line…the jet skier was actually “blocking” the ramp…should’ve given way to boater loading/unloading…which he did 👏🏼…no harm and a successful boat load…also the low tide might have prompted the boat to purposefully back up where his boat wasn’t so that he could back up his trailer properly without hitting the docked boat 😊
CARRAVELLE get extra points for having a boat hook! I don't understand why paddles are never used. They're cheap and are great for slow maneuverability.
Might I ask as a Brit Why you don't have Harbour Masters, I am a 69yr old Brit that used to sail the Thames river off the North Woolwich slip, But every Coastal Harbour had a Master, They were the local condition masters of pilotage, But then we do have a thousand years or two on that which needs to be done
Stingrays around the feet is always entertaining. Until you've been stung you just don't care if you feel that little swoosh around the toes because it feels just like moving water which is perfectly normal when your feet are in the water. If you can't see the bottom then you can't tell it's not some wave action but actually the flappy parts of the ray wiggling out from under your feet, so you just walk around feeling this odd sensation which just happen to be the bottom fish of pain trying to avoid getting stepped until you finally step on one and you will never forget that action.
Standing between truck and throttled up boat is not wise, I know a guy who got crushed when person operating boat smashed down throttle to get boat “unstuck” on trailer. This as well, don’t let someone who doesn’t know how to operate a boat try to load it. Do it yourself or have them hook it for you after boat is ready.
It really makes you wonder what people are thinking. Did they even look at what the wind is doing before they come to the dock. Then when they do get there, they don’t even have fenders for the side of the boat. Folks you have hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of boats and you can’t spare 100 bucks for a few fenders for the side of the boat. Imagine how simple docking the boat would’ve been if you had just looked at the wind before approaching the dock. Would’ve selected the right hand side to begin with people are morons, most of whom should never own a boat.
The videos I've seen of yours is funny and sad at same time. I'm seeing there's more that have money for things they know nothing about but the people are jabbed minded since 2020 and getting worse. Never seen raging people before 2020 like this.
It's so pathetic when Florida Wildlife tried to take away fish that are basically a quarter inch from the size that they say they're supposed to be it's fish in the ocean we should be able to do whatever we want with them so they just take them and throw them away instead of using a food they just throw them away and makes no sense and then try to find you it's complete BS and I hate it
Does the 4th and 5th ammendment not apply when you are on a boat? No one can search my car for the required safety equipment. Why does that change in a boat?
The 5th Amendment (not ammendment) of the US Constitution (mainly) applies to court proceedings (edit: the pre-charges questioning, "Miranda", and such is a small portion). The 4th applies to "unreasonable" searchs, etc. A request by an LEO or US Coast Guard personnel for you to present your required boating safety equipment is not a search. Furthermore, when you are operating your vehicle, an officer may detain and cite you for missing, inoperative, or improper safety equipment, or the failure to use (wear seat belts) safety equipment. Again, not a search. The FWC officer in the video was properly and legally checking for fishing regulations compliance, not searching.
@Eddievoneddie13 Wrong. The 5th Amendment applies any time you are being questioned by government representatives. It is not just in court. In fact, court is the only place they can compel a witness to testify, but only if they are protected from self incrimination. When driving a car, police can only cite someone for safety violations that can be seen without a search. They can't open your hood and check your brake fluid. I don't know how looking inside hatches and in coolers on a boat would not be considered a search. As typical, law enforcement operates under the assumption that they can do whatever they want until a court tells them otherwise despite the clarity of the constitution.
@@michaellowe3665 You are obviously unfamiliar with the powers granted to game wardens and wildlife enforcement officers in most states. In most states, they can freely access private land and conduct specific searches of vehicles/vessels during the enforcement of fishing and hunting regulations. Also, the 5th Amendment doesn't apply in the situation that you squalked about in the video.
@Eddievoneddie13 No law enforcement can be granted powers specifically denied them in the constitution. The reason they may continue to get away with it is that they have not been thoroughly challenged. It takes large sums of money to fight a case all the way to the Supreme Court. At any point where a law enforcement agency is about to lose in court, they drop the charges. This is how the ATF continues to exist.
@@michaellowe3665 Excerpt from case law summary: "A 2012 California Supreme Court case found that even when a game warden lacks reasonable suspicion that a person has violated an applicable fish or game statute or regulation, they may still stop the suspect's vehicle and demand the suspect display any fish or game in the suspect's possession. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the California Supreme Court’s 2011 People v. Maikhio warrantless search ruling. The California Supreme Court ruled that a game warden who reasonably believes that a person has recently been fishing or hunting, but lacks reasonable suspicion that the person has violated an applicable fish or game statute or regulation, may stop the suspect's vehicle to demand the person display all fish or game the person has caught or taken. In ruling against Maikhio, Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye noted that hunters and anglers engage in highly-regulated sports, so they have a diminished expectation of privacy. The court reasoned that the "intrusion upon privacy engendered by a game warden's stop of an angler or hunter to demand the display of his or her catch or take is relatively minor," and furthers the state's interest in conservation." Also, look up "open fields doctrine".
One thing that has become apparent to me watching these multitude of videos is that the majority of so-called boating Americans don‘t understand the first thing about boating, rules-of-the-road, harbor and or docking maneuvers. Generally, total lack of proper training! I am so thankful to live and boat in Europe!
You can't judge all Americans by one city, or even most boaters by this group. These are mostly folks who spend a lot of money to escape from the city on the weekend, and the water is right there. It's appalling to watch, but so are city drivers. We get tons of American boats in Canada, both trailered in and cruised up, and they generally aren't known for being any less competent than us locals. Not that Canadians don't do dumb stuff, but we need training and licenses at least.
I think you should find a better job than sitting and judging people here who are just trying to dock. What if its their first time? Everyone starts somewhere.. Or you were born with all the skills? They can't practice docking at home, they have to be on the water and try it. Grow up a bit
This first boat coming into the dock is a perfect example of why you should use a single continuous line tied bow to stern. The girl on the stern just standing there holding the stern rope while the stern drafts out. If the 2 guys on the dock had one continuous line, one pulls in bow while the other pulls in the stern. This can can done with only one crewman, stop using this 2 line system and least try the one docking line system.
I guess nobody ever showed any of these idiots that the winch handle on the front of the trailer can be used to put the boat in the right position. This only occurs to them when the boat ends up in the back seat of the Suburban or bed of the truck pulling the boat.
6:55 Wifey is the most competent individual ever videoed on this channel. She did that like a champ, under windy conditions no less.
This is very informative. I did not even realize wifey would have tasks. The one thing about my GF is that she can barely sit still. We have her do lots of spin class. But, I am not sure she will be jazzed by boat life. Me, I could drop anchor, put on shades, lie out or read and be happy as a clam.
Strangely enough, we had a whole bunch of win today. That shove from the first guy was freaking art and the lady sure can wrangle that boat just fine.
FINALLY ! Video shows some competent boaters. My wife can Captain the boat or back the trailer. She will even take the boat to the lake with her friends. Just floors me watching people on this channel who can't even throw a rope much less get to the dock cleanly. 😮😮

If you have a skilled wife with you at the ramp, it makes all the difference in the world. I do and it gets us in and out of the ramp in a minute.
My mom could back a trailer better than my dad and my dad was the one who taught her lol straight shot down the ramp at 10mph every time almost every time we loaded or launched someone came over to give her props
That wifey captain did an excellent job !
She hit her tow so hard she started opening up hatches for no reason 😂
Toe**
What has my life become….. I’ve become addicted to watching boat launch videos
1:06 Exactly how you work the docks in the wind, dock on the downwind side! Don't fight it, let it work for you.
the docking drift, pro move !!!
no pro move is paying attention to the wind as you approach the dock.
"Did you get me tripping on the line?" "Nope, I missed it." "Perfect, awesome." You just might lose a fan when she goes and watches the video.
Ooo did me dirty with the thumbnail...
Lets see here, I got my boat docked over here but I think I'll back the trailer down over here.. LMFAO

6:10
I wifey knows what's up, heck might even be her boat
Pro tip get a stern line surcured good leave boat idle in forward gear ,it has to stay alongside while you get bow line on
Since Wifey was at the helm, that makes her Cap. Hubby was on shore acting as Crew. 😸
Another great video! Enjoy your videos 😊
Wind is something that you learn to deal with in boating the same as the water some never understand how to deal with either of these common events when trying to operatea boat.
It's amazing how few people can back a trailer
That’s an impressive microphone you’re using there!
I always use the current to help me dock my 44' Sedan Bridge. It's too heavy and big to try and manhandle at the docks
great day at the boat ramp
Captain mom. Perfect first time
3:00 that babe sitting on dock sure was helpful........warming the planks I guess......
Nice Cboys shirt at the end... :)
Smooth move..
She tripped, and almost busted her tush
Back in the mid 90's I was sailing on the east end of Long Island where the tall ships visited. Went to the city dock so we could tour the boats and my sister tried jumping from the bow to the dock. NOT a good idea on a sailboat! Her jump pushed the bow away from the dock and she landed on the edge of the dock and then into the water.

Who cares
@@eldorado1244 grow up 🤡
Omg! Who cares
@@quasarcom5041 Well, I guess when it happens to someone you care for, then say the same thing...
Some bumpers would be appropriate.
It would be better than human bumpers. 😅
A single docking line the rigth length can control bow and sturn if each end is tied front and back- so simple.
Yea someone in FL understands the powerload
Kudos to Mama!😉
if you don't grow up driving a boat! you gotta help them!
It appears as if the jet ski was waiting to pick up a passenger (seen walking down the dock)…so not as big of deal if there wasn’t any boats/trailers in line…the jet skier was actually “blocking” the ramp…should’ve given way to boater loading/unloading…which he did 👏🏼…no harm and a successful boat load…also the low tide might have prompted the boat to purposefully back up where his boat wasn’t so that he could back up his trailer properly without hitting the docked boat 😊
The girl second to last was a keeper
1:38 - That stingray really cost us a good comment. Aw well. At least it's on the camera.
Because mama's boat!
Nice vid
00:20 Maybe try the mid-cleat...
Wish yea has some water B-roll of the stingways 🤣🦈☠️🏴☠️
One thing I've learned about all my years boating. Trailers. Docks. Never be smooth. Full throttle or no throttle. Lmao
CARRAVELLE get extra points for having a boat hook! I don't understand why paddles are never used. They're cheap and are great for slow maneuverability.
What about a line off front of boat, nose in, wrap line around post then slowly reverse to pull boat against dock.... tie off rear of boat
Why do people with no boat always camp, fish sunbathe just generally block the people with a boat trying to dock(like it's not hard enough)😮
I have no clue what that girl was doing sitting on the dock like that
Seriously, maybe you’re waiting for a friend to pick you up, but how about stay out of the way.
Might I ask as a Brit Why you don't have Harbour Masters, I am a 69yr old Brit that used to sail the Thames river off the North Woolwich slip, But every Coastal Harbour had a Master, They were the local condition masters of pilotage, But then we do have a thousand years or two on that which needs to be done
Also that girl (wifey) did a very good job putting that boat on the trailer.
We have score cards on lake havasu az lol
Boathooks or paddles are apparently rare in Florida!
Where is this boat ramp Miami or Sarasota ?
It is incredible how they have so many little issues and it all happens when the capitan runs away from the controles.
Damn I wanted to see the stingrays
How many hours do you usually film a day?
LMFAO. This is hilarious.

@@bobbenson4831 hey hey hey everything on the internet is true
Woolcum back Broncos
👍👍
its just literally me
Why was that lady sitting on the dock 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Cap was wondering the same thing at 3:49.
Reading boating safety regs
Game Wardens down there would get me for eating and packing other types of meat too.
Gotta be honest, I fast forward the parts with a side view of the dock. It’s just a lousy perspective.
Busted! As a click bait?... C'mon bro...

Whirled is upside down. We need Permission for Fishing? Inalienable right to Live? Time for the next Revolution!!!! No more Govt!!!! Anarchy Rules!
i want to move to Florida and want to work for you.
How does nobody know how to use a spring line?

OOPS puppies almost got loose when she tripped on back of the boat...lmao
i hate poachers and have no problem turning them into the officers.
Just another false title to get you to look.
Is there any boat owner in Florida that can actually properly operate a boat??? Is there anyone who can drive a trailer??
Feels weird
It's so pathetic when Florida Wildlife tried to take away fish that are basically a quarter inch from the size that they say they're supposed to be it's fish in the ocean we should be able to do whatever we want with them so they just take them and throw them away instead of using a food they just throw them away and makes no sense and then try to find you it's complete BS and I hate it

How many boats and boaters do you claim ownership over??? "Our guy ... ...", "Our crew...", "My guy" did this or that, LOL
Is it the law in Florida that you have to leave the Helm when docking ????😂😂😂
I’m sorry you’ve gone to click bait
What a disaster . This is worse than the Julio’s at Black Point

And why is there a girl just sitting on the dock reading a book? Docks are for boats.
