3rd ramp? Never knew they had a third. Just deploy the Ulterra Juan...
Original ramp on the southern end. Replaced with the double wide with the renovation. So I guess it's just 2, technically. Never was very good at math.

The new ramp should be able to launch two boats at once as long as both people know how to back a trailer

Juan, the fort ramp is not much different from Shields, except more boats launching and no Ship's Store. Less than 5 minutes upriver.
It looked like maybe 3 could launch at the same time from the Fort while just two from Shield's but If there's more boats launching from the fort ramp I should probably stick to Shield's since I'll be launching alone which will take a few minutes longer unless I can find someone to pull the truck out.
Juan I plan on fishing the T,depending what time your at the fort I'd be more than happy to help you launch and load

Thank you sir! I'd sure appreciate it but if the rain prediction stays at 60% or higher, I'll be sitting this one out.

Where's the sun? I don't know how to read that site but the if it says there's less than 50% chance of rain Saturday, I sure hope it's right! The site I use for St. Marks has changed a little from the earlier forecast and now says:
Saturday: Day: Cloudy with showers. High 57 Winds NE 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain: 50%
Evening: Showers early, becoming steady rain. Low 53, Winds NE 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%
If I didn't live so far from St. Marks, I wouldn't be as concerned but it's not looking good for the ride home at this point.
rain chances now at 30% or less during tournament; but like any tournament, the more you talk about it as we get closer, the more volatile it becomes !
hush hush on that rain now.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. ~Chuck Clark
