My guys trip got shutdown by a buddies wife and an unexpected trip to Alabama for another one of my friends.
My dad retires this Friday so I told him, my brother, he and I should head out to Havasu that weekend. It is looking good. We will not get there till late Friday night and being that I will just be hanging out with Pops, I will probably just hook with all of you at the channel or wherever you guys are parked for a while. Look for my boat, I dont have the AZ number or name on it yet. I look forward to meeting some of yall out there.

You still need to let me know what 2 pairs of glasses you want for those tickets you got me. I will be there for the regatta. If you let me know soon I will bring them with me.

I'd love to play golf on Friday with all of you but that would get in the way of my seat time in the boat. This will be my first trip of the season and I'm dieing to get out on the water.

After hanging around all those shiny Ultra's all weekend you just might be tempted to buy one now that the HH Tug is gone. I'm sure John West will throw in some extra zip tie's for ya.

Yeah, Jaeger & bull is the sh*t.
Shadow- Your gel coat is the next best that I've seen. I see you in parker all the time. Anyway- no pics of my stereo, but I've got 4 infinity 6x9's, 2 infinity 6.5's, 2 infinity 4.25's, 2 MTX 12's, MTX crossover and 3 MTX competition amps (about 3k watts RMS continuous power).
It's about the extent I can do with the space that I've got....

OK, so we waited until the last minute, first the nautical was booked , then AVI was booked, so we get a room at the Bridge View. Still hoping to get a peak at the Ultra gig.
We already get a late start leaving Ventura Friday night, the kids DVD player won't work (not wanting to attempt the trip without it) I spend 30 minutes in a parking lot in Canyon Country fixin the %$&% thing. By the time we get to Needles its after midnight and the Burb is making serious clunking noises (this is just after we passed a 28 foot eliminator that had lost a trailer wheel) so I'm a bit nervous. We limp it into Havasu City about 1:00 am.
OK, now Saturday morning we drop the boat in the water at site 6 as the wife is parking our rig I slip off the swim step and kick the prop. It was not running so I had that going for me, but the water looks similar to what I've seen in a Jaws movie. Its obvious I need stitches so I wrap my foot in a now blood soaked towel and wait for my wife to hike about a half a mile from where she parked the Burb.
By this time my buddy, who also wanted to go to the Ultra gig drops his boat in and proceeds to head out to the sand bar. So I follow hoping that the blood will stop by the time we get there. It did! But it hurt like he$%.
So, I finally get a chance to crack a cool one (with my leg up on the dash) and try to get some enjoyment out of the day. Shortly thereafter we realize my five year old boy is not feeling to well. He is running a good fever so we decide to head in and get him some shelter. Back at site 6 wait about 45 minutes for the wife to get the Burb while in the process I jump start an open pipe boat at the dock which in turn wakes up my other kid that was trying to take a nap.
OK, the trip is going real well so far. As my wife is now backing our rig into the water my cell phone rings. Its my buddy who had just broke down on the other side of the lake. Wife parks the car and we pack everyone back up and head back across the lake (all while my foot is wrapped in a blood soaked towel). Tow my buddy in (he sucked a rope in the jet so he was enjoying the Ultra weekend as well).
OK, by this time site 6 is packed so we spent one more hour loading both boats (buddies). Head back to the hotel sleep it off the next morning my other kid is sick. So we pack up and head home.
And to tell you all the truth, I still enjoyed seeing all those pretty Ultras running through town even though we never got over to talk to any of you. I hope you all had fun.
A bad day at the lake is still better than sitting at home.
:D :D :D

Thank you to everyone who attended the Ultra Blast 2004. The final count of boats attended is 104 with over 300 people.
We enjoyed hanging out with all of you and can't wait to start planning next years event.
A couple of the venders that were their told me that it was the best regatta that they had ever attended!
I will try and figure out how to post some of the candid shots that Mrs. rvrtoy took through out the event.
