So I took the boat out a little while this afternoon, by myself. Launch, fish about 5 hours or so, catch 9 littleish bass, and head back to the ramp.

I'm backing my trailer down the ramp and I usually back it down until about half of the guide bunks are under water. To my dismay, I look back and one of my bunks is gone...like not there...like vanished...he gone.

I wasn't real sure what to do. I sat there a bit scratching my head for a solution. I figured that it must have come off when I launched...and figured it ought to float. I start looking around in the little cut next to the ramp and sure enough, in the back in some driftwood floats a carpeted bunk. It had drifted up and was laying across a goose nest where mama goose was sitting on eggs. I thought the goose was going to eat me as I motored the boat over to retrieve it.

So it's waterlogged...the bolts had busted out of it, so I had no bolts and no tools. I took some rope and MacGyvered it down to the trailer as tight as I could and managed to get the boat loaded on it.

I've never considered what to do if a bunk broke off, but I don't know how I could have loaded without it...

Now I guess I've got to launch somewhere and try to put on new bunks in the parking lot...

Pain in the butt!!!
