Sometimes it depends. Many years ago on Roberts a bad storm blew in on a spring morning that caught everyone off guard. Headed to the Jordan ramp at first sound of thunder. The hail started at about the island and wind switched out of the north at around 50 mph. Lindey Roberts, several other boats, and I just sat in middle of cove idling in gear into the wind with a spare life vest covering my head against the pea size hail. I think 4 or 5 boats sunk on the ramp and bank in Jordan that day trying to get out. I was there that day as well. Bass N Gals had a tournament going out of that ramp that morning and it was a cluster [censored] to say the least. The storm blew in from the North and the waves were swamping boats at the ramp, one guy beached his boat on the ramp, it ended up on the ramp almost completely out of the water. A guy capsized his jon boat just as we pulled up, we pulled up to him and pulled him in our boat. Bilge pumps were running like the fountains at the Beligio.
