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. :lol:

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

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 :thumbup: :thumbup:

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.

Just noticed Rule 15. I thought the tournaments were artificial only. :hammer:

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. :lol: :beer: :beer:
