Launch Me, Please!

Miami-Dade Parks & Recreation operates six marinas in the Miami area and many boat ramps where private boats can be launched. Of course, there is a fee to launch a boat. To enjoy the boat, one has to know a lot and also pay a lot. You need to know the boat, where is the bow, where is the stern etc..., how to tow it (safely,) where to launch it, how to launch it, how to drive it in the ocean, how to fish (or dive or whatever you do with a boat,) how to un-launch and how to tow it back home. That's too much work, don't you think?

That explains the proverbial joke about boat owners: "The second happiest day of my life was when I bought a boat. The happiest day was when I sold it."
