    The one that is somewhat civilized extended the invite, the other is feral.

    I feel that Larry is on the mark. If you have to use the family member’s launch then his bringing a +1 is reasonable. Sure, he should have probably given you better notice but he might not be familiar with reasonable boating etiquette. Sounds like the +1 was cool this time, if the others are basket cases you might have to find another launch.

    We have other launches we can go to, just our plan was this one for this event. Our options are becoming limited because ramps are closing everyday due to low water levels.

    If your ramp options are disappearing, perhaps dealing with your wife’s cousin is worth it.

    The launches in his HOA will be closed before we head out again if we don’t get significant rainfall, so it’s a non-issue.

    I’m starting to worry that this will be a non issue. Are there going to be any ramps open for you?

    There are several others open. We’ve only been out on the weekends because that’s his only free time. My wife and I can go midweek days with much more frequency.

    Wifey (boat captain) and I talked it out today, we’ll set the ground rules, and if he pulls the same stunt again, we just won’t invite him out anymore. He has his own ghetto ‘tooner that he could take out if he wants to get on the lake. We’ll deal with the family drama like we always do, radio silence and patience.

    The drought is more frustrating to me than the original issue. We left severe drought to find it again.
