Tom,
That launch ramp looks more like the drop on the Matterhorn at Disneyland. It's amazing, and I don't think I would ever trust it to launch anything
unless my truck was amphibious, able to operate on both land and water, as the latter is where it would most likely end up.

Paulina, I said," you have to see it to believe it". You ruined the suprise. I
have to think they have some sort of winch system. I have a picture if I can only find it.

I had to repost it. How many degrees is the angle on that thing?

I think Paulina has the answer to that! I remember seeing that ramp some years ago.It was a dirt ramp to begin with, and then a broken bunch of peices
of a concrete ramp, very steep, at the end.I think, again, Paulina gets the prize for this question!!!(winch) And to Minnow,When we went out of the channel of Estero to head for Todos to fish I always wondered how those
people got WAY out there on that point!AH, now I know!(panga)

Dern and I are arguing as I type. He says it's between a 20 to 30 degree angle. I'm saying more like a 45. How are we going to solve this question?
Dennis, it's up to you pal. You're closer to it than any of us at the moment.
It's hard to judge how steep it is when you're cruising by on a boat, rolling with the swells. Regardless, it's pretty damn steep!
Sallysouth, I'll have to pass the prize on to Minnow, he was the one to say winch. My answer was to use an amphibious launching vehicle. Are you sure
that this is the ramp you remember? There is also the ramp that used to be next to Fred's house on Arnez (sp?)property. We used to use that one years
ago. Too bad it fell to ruins.

Likely, I am newest boat owner on Punta Banda. Sorted through launching v. slip rental v. location v. size.... Predicament includes all of this
water and not much ez access to it.
Decided to give up golf in favor of enjoying my new back yard....PACIFIC OCEAN. 5 of us are partners and renting slip. We'll see if we're still
talking in 90 days.

I used to walk around the point, long before current development. 6 or 8 mile trek, can't remember. It was a tough trail. If it's accesable now,
it has to be from the west side.
Tom...How did you get the shot from the air?
I was guessing 30 degrees when I first figured out the foto but, the angle may be decieving.

The road in is from the East. I took the picture from a boat. What exactly do you think they are going to use that ramp for>? Hmmmm. Someone
paid big bucks for a non usable ramp. Hmmmm.

I think it was just built wrong. With their [?] money, it can be fixed.
Tom.....Who's behind this project? The streets are devoid of rumor other than it's a man named Peņa, pariente to Miguel who owns Puerto Escondido.
Oh, you took that shot from a boat? It looks like an air shot. The angle is probably steeper than my original guess of thirty degrees.

Paulina, I think you are correct,as that can't possibly be the ramp I remember!Now that I think about it...it was what we used to call "Three
Sisters" Not sure why but I bet that was the ramp I remebered.Dirt road winding down and then a cement ramp...long time ago.We launched there a coupla
times before we decided it was easier to go out of the channel at Estero, depending on the size of the surf, of course.

Sally,
That would be the ramp below Fred's house. It was a windey dirt road that hugged the side of a dirt embankment with houses above on your left hand
side. That was a good ramp back in the day. There was even room to park there to the right after off loading your boat.

Yup Paulina! That would be the ramp I remember! Do you know why we knew it as The Three sisters? I sure don't! It was a short hop and skip for us from
Estero (70's-80's) when the surf was too big to get out of the channel and the YT's were biting! Thanks...Sal

I believe it's called "Tres Hermanas" because of the rock formations in the water just off of the bluffs of Punta Banda, which would be just to the
south of that launch ramp.
If I'm wrong, maybe Tom or P.B. lurkers can correct me.

Campo Arnaiz, Freds place, is a mile or two closer to La Jolla than Tres Hermanas. No ramps at Tres Hermanas.
