I had a boat at Teignmouth Devon harbour for over 17 years.
For an afternoons entertainment just take a drink and some sandwiches to the river boat slipway and watch the townies trying to launch their boats.
What always complicated matters was that the tide was always running one way or another.--Launching a boat into moving water required a good deal of skill.--( and know how. )
Could write a book on folk up to their waists in water while dressed in a suit to exploding outboard engines.----
