Amateurs. Forgot all the important steps. 1. Block ramp to load your gear. 2. Forget to put plug in. 3. Attempt to crank motor while sitting in ramp. 4. Leave boat in ramp while parking truck 10 minutes away. 5. Bonus points for blinding everyone with your headlights.
When you are inexperienced the pressure is real. We were in line at Goose Island boat ramp with 5-6 guides behind us. About the time it was our turn my buddy had a bathroom emergency and I had to take over. (I've never owned a boat) I did the best I could but I was slow and had to take a couple of stabs at it - I was really sweating. As you can imagine, those guides in line were neither patient nor sympathetic - you'd think I'd stomped a puppy or something.
Those guys both post some funny stuff on IG. We've all been there, but the one inexcusable jackwagon move is the leaving your headlights on when it is dark!
