One day, while waiting my turn at a steep, single-lane launching ramp, a fellow boater came up to the truck window and asked, “How’d he do that? What’s the trick?”

The view through the side mirrors was of the far shore, with the view through the rear window blocked by the large boat. Did I mention that, even before getting to this point, there was a dog-leg in the approach lane that needed to be negotiated in reverse?
