You need all the help you can get when launching there . What i can remember, it that it is one of the hardest places to launch from.... a very short steep ramp . Why couldn't this guy just say no thanks, instead of being a self proclaimed expert. Did he have any scratches on his boat ? There will be a day that this guy gets in trouble and he'll wish he had somone around like you to help out .One of the things that i like about boating is that people are willing to help.
