Raising the Titanic would have been easier.

The good Ship Sovereign must have regretted ending the summer sailing season early.  Getting the boat out was the worst ever.  Why? For some strange reason the boat would not go all the way on the trailer. Taking a sailboat out of the water on Lake Sakakawea is like no other place. People from real marinas are amazed to see how we do it.  At a real marina a big boat lift comes over and straddles your boat.  The boat lift simply lifts the boat out of the water and puts it on a cradle.

Not here.  On our lake you back the trailer down to the water.  You extend the extender.  That is the device that gives you an extra 40 feet of ability to push the trailer in the water.  Now you have a trailer in the water you pretty much cannot see.  This makes a great game of getting the keel right in the middle of the trailer.  You have marked the trailer corners with long pieces of PVC pipe.  This is so you can guess where it is.  You ram your boat into the wrong place and scratch it a few times.  Finally you think the damn thing is on.

At this point old Kadizzle is different.  Kadizzle jumps in the water and looks to see the keel is up against the stop. The cold water is a shock.  Well let's give it a try.  Keep in mind the trailer is on a ramp at an angle.  The boat is floating level. This means two angels must come together.  As the boat comes out of the water it slips backwards. This is the curse.  Like dumbass Kadizzle thought he might be able to duplicate the trick he did last year.  With everything wet he got some momentem with the boat on the trailer and slammed on the brakes.  Last year the boat moved forward the four inches needed.  This year the boat would not move.

This is were the brilliance set in.  Like a complete dolt Kadizzle set out to move the boat into position on the trailer the easy way.  The easy way turned out to be dangerous, stupid, and a waste of time.  With two jacks Kadizzle, Rodger, and Warren tried to push the boat back.  After wasting considerable time, and taking a chance something would fly loose and strike someone, the reality struck. We had to put the boat back in the water. This meant the whole damn procedure all over again.  Get the extender, switch the balls, block the trailer, extend the extender, jump in the water, and shit it just goes on.

Well after a whole lot of fooling around on the second try the boat sat correctly on the trailer. The boat is out and Kadizzle is exhausted.  If you have something big you want moved give us a call. We will do it the dumb way first, and you get to watch, then we will do it right.  You may have a pile of rubble when we are finished, but it will get done.
