I am not perfect but I do show up and prepare BEFORE I am on the ramp. I prepare to save YOU time at the ramp.

I forgot. I also backed a gentlmans boat in for him earlier this year as well. He was launching solo.

I have no patience waiting for people that are oblivious to others. I have lots of patience for people who recognize they need help.
Good points 4Fun. States landing is "our" ramp too. The only thing I would add that is sometimes when you offer to help, it is not accepted gratefully or rejected gracefully.
