Wondering how many people have run into the problems we have with the coast guard launching there. They always launch down the middle of the ramp blocking both ramps....... And last weekend did the same BUT also backed to far down and the boat trailer wheels went off the ramp! So then there were 4 boats waiting for them to get out of the way for over an hour.
Just seems like we run into the issue with them several times a season and it's getting real old............

Can't imagine the Coast Guard would be THAT big a problem.. how often do they launch out of there??Suz' said:
Sounds like the Coasties aren't too bright.. aren't there Black plastic boxes marking where the end of the ramp is?? WHy don't you come around and use the boat launch near the SAR building??

I don't know how often they launch out of there but this happens to us several times a season. You would think being the coast guard, they would be smarter and more considerate of others.
There are signs indicating where the ramp ends. What ramp by the sar bldg? As far as I know this is the only ramp we are allowed to use and it is next to the SAR bldg so I think we are talking about the same ramp.

Can't you launch from the Seaplane Ramp??Suz' said:I don't know how often they launch out of there but this happens to us several times a season. You would think being the coast guard, they would be smarter and more considerate of others.

Next time you are there.. look across the Basin to where all the boats are in dry storage.. up on stands.. at the base of that lot is a HUGE seaplane ramp..Suz' said:Didn't know there was one, so I doubt it.
When you are coming down the hill (like you were coming from the Comissary) you come to a stop sign, you would go left there to go to the Marina, if you go straight, through the gate, go through the stored boats, there is a HUGE ramp you will come to..

If we're talking about the same ramp....The directions you gave indicate two different ramps in the same area. If you turn right at the stop sign, then turn left and drive through AIMD parking, you'll come to AMTC, which owns that ramp.
Why would MWR launch from the other side of the basin when they have their own ramps?

Size of the boats for one.. MWR and the Sail Club take the boats out, and put them back in using the seaplane ramp (I'm pretty sure anyways).. and the seaplane ramp is marked to ensure nobody drives off of the end of the ramp.. so I would assume SOMEbody uses it.elaine said:If we're talking about the same ramp....The directions you gave indicate two different ramps in the same area.

I thought the boats that are up on stands there (mainly sailboats) are put in and taken out at that ramp by MWR also..
