Had an eye opening moment at the launch yesterday.

I have launched at this lake 50x the last two years, but yesterday I had to back in a little deeper than normal, due to lake level being slightly lower.

Rear tires of truck were in the water and the algae on the cement was slick.

Truck started to slide deeper, truck in park, parking brake on and foot off brakes.

If I had exited the truck, there was no stopping it from sliding into the lake.

I had to put truck in 4WD so front tires would not roll.

I guess the videos I have watched where truck and trailers go into the lake and towed out, many of the trucks have the rear wheels locked up. This tells me my incident it fairly common due to algae growth on the ramp.
