Friday around 8pm I pulled up to the ramp to launch my boat and could not believe what I saw. The Tuckahoe Inn dock was full so three boats decided to use the public ramp as their private dock. A 30' Jupiter blocked the entire right ramp (between the pier and the floating dock) and two smaller center consoles consumed the left ramp leaving just enough room to fit thru between the bulkhead. There was a guy pulling his boat, two people waiting to launch and me all working off one ramp with limited access.

The ramp is used at all times of the day, just because the attendant leaves at 6 does not mean it is free parking.

Anybody else run into this problem?

I don't have a boat, but have heard of this happening. I would call the state police and asked or their help. I'm sure they would handle one way or the other.

Go into the Tuckahoe inn and make an announcement that the Marine Police have been notified and are in route to clear the public dock. That oughta get someone out to move their boats. Gotta love the shoobies.

better yet, go to the INN and tell them all the boats at the ramp have been CUT LOOSE!! You'll find out who owns them then!!! Take 'em out back and show 'em a thing or two about common courtesy!!

If someone in 30'ft Jupiter can park in a boat ramp then he sure can pay someone to go get his boat when it is cut loose from the ramp.
