Boat ramp anxiety

[Belligero]

I suffer from anxiety for just about everything in life its all consuming so it was a big hurdle for me getting a boat, learning to reverse the thing and then manage it at a ramp.

I just would take it down on a work day when possible & later at night when it was dead and just practice backing it and doing the checks etc etc. Got to the point I don't even have to think about what I am doing these days. 

I have always thought I was a little impatient with others at the ramp but I never showed it and would just offer to help if I see someone struggling which is pretty often. That was until I visited a sydney ramp to help a mate with his boat. We went to the ramp across from the airport with a park in it, Can't think of its name.

It was absolute chaos. Horrible people horrible place. Didn't worry me I still did my thing just fine but I remember when I go back up home I told myself I would never go to that ramp again haha.

Essentially just doing it over and over will build you confidence like anything in life and for the most part people at the ramp are pretty chill.
