Just plan on crowds and you won't be disappointed.  Also,  plan on people not knowing how to launch/load their boats properly, or that they need to prep the boat BEFORE backing down the ramp.  Plan on lots of people going fast in their boats too close to you.  Park accordingly in the parking lot...try to park where you WON'T get hit by someone pulling out that has never driven a trailer before  (pet peeve:  I hate it when guys drive the boat off the trailer and have their wives go park the truck...really?).   Plan on the ramp being clogged up at noon, and if the wind comes up.  It's all good.  There are a LOT of new boat/truck owners the last 2 years and most are extremely inexperienced and don't know the real rules, nor the etiquette rules.  Don't cut in line because you think you can launch/load faster then others.  You are still cutting and it makes the ones that obey the etiquette rules very mad.  You are not more entitled than anyone else. 
I'll just stop now.  

P.S.  I stayed home today.

You pretty well nailed it.  I stayed home as well.  Much more fun to cook and eat some pork ribs than put up with the nonsense on the lakes.   Big Grin
