Wow nice stories! Yes I've learned that rope lesson myself last year pulling the boat up on the trailer. I set the rope down for a second to unwind the cable for hooking it on the front, and wouldn't you know that boat slid right down like a log flume. I ran out doing the two step shuffle along the trailer cris-crossing to get out there fast and just caught it holy smokes it was close. What's that quote about good judgement comes from experience, and you gain experience by using bad judgement LOL.
