Ahhh, it is all good, they got a marshal to keep the non-boating idiots from cutting people off and assist those in need...  The dock is quite big and I think it is four + lanes.  I thought it was $13 to launch.. After you come down the hill the traffic lane is close to the hill, so watch out for those in hurry to get by you, you swing left towards the payment area and pull up to whatever lane is open or he instructs to you.  Have everything ready prior to swinging around and then take your time to ensure that you do it right, without hurting yourself or the boat...  And if you get into a pickle, ask some one for assistance, especially the fisherman as they will understand, maybe the pleasure craft won't but everyone that fishes surely will help, as they remember their first launches and got a story about it...

Thanks guys, wish they had a marshal at all the launches. far from my first time in this rodeo, just been awhile.  might need to borrow the end of the dock for a little bit.
