Ever have this happen to ya?
I'm loading the Labs on the boat when I start to struggle with one of them, along comes a wave, pushes the boat back towards me, lifts the ass end and pile drives the ladder on top on foot into the sand. Man did I ever let out a yelp. Didn't break it but it hurts to touch and it's bruised pretty good.

No . . . but yes to having foot squished by the bottom of the boat bouncing around in the wake of another boat . . . did not yelp but there was some colourful language employed at a very high volume

Locally we had a much worse event take place a few years back when a guy was trying to push his boat into the surf when a swell picked it up and pinned him under the bottom of the boat. Makes you really watch what your doing after you hear stuff like that.

I haven't had this happen but we switched to a dog ladder for boat entry a while back. We use a Load-A-Pup ramp but there are others and I am pretty sure a homemade one wouldn't be that difficult. Sure beats trying to shove our Goldens ass up onto the boat.
