LATE LOADERS

This is an enduring series you can watch almost every summer weekend. The Late Loaders zoom past the make-ready area and head directly to a ramp lane where they park their rig, blocking access and spending an inordinate amount of time loading up…everything—boat coolers, fishing gear, water toys, beach towels, beanbags, dive equipment, sunscreen, snacks, and anything they might conceivably need in the next three months.

All the while, others who have already prepped their boats to launch stew as they wait for the Late Loaders to clear out.

It’s enough to trigger a verbal altercation, and it sometimes does, which gives the episode a nice arc. And if you miss the action, tune in a few hours later when they return and block the ramp again in their sequel: the Clueless.
