New LE attitude in Havi!

[nodigg]

The streets in Havi were free of all but about 2 patrol cars the rest were assigned to the lake, I work with LHC on a daily bassis and for the most part Havasu LE is very easy going, how many places still let you lic. a quad on the road? They take part in the car shows I put on, and in general actualy are good people, "something I am not use to from San Diego LE", from the inside info I am privy to, here are a few things you all can do to help keep Havasu a place you want to come.
1) the noise level echo's through the whole valley, so the new noise level restrictions are actually a good thing, you might actually hear something going wrong with your engine before it lets go!!!!, for those of you who don't understand exhaust systems (a little back pressure is a real good thing)
2) when leaving a no-wake zone do not hammer the gas - that surely will get you a noise ticket and a unplannned visit to our Judge.
3) when parked in the Channel TURN YOUR ENGINE OFF!!!!!!!!! if you need music that bad bring a spare Battery or Two.
4) if your lucky enough to have (2) engines in you boat, PLEASE!!!!! use only one of them while navigating the channel, I love the smell of av-gas and 110 oct but there is such thing as too much of a good thing.
5) PLEASE!!!!!!! make sure your Captian is SOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6) absolutely no glass containers in the channel
and a BIG THANKYOU to all of you that used trash bags this last weekend
On the noise thing. I am already enjoying the lessor number of loud thru hull in the channel and particularly at the ramps. I love the sound too, but some times it is just too much!

They've always been good to us. Last year in copper canyon a female officer on a sea doo kept stopping by every now and then and asking if we were fine. Later in the day you could tell she was suffering from the heat beating down on her so we gave her and another officer some ice cold beverages. They hung around with us for a while and good thing they did. Later that day our boat broke down and had to be towed out. They contacted the tow company because my phone didn't get reception. This one officer went through the entire crowd on a saturday memorial weekend and made a double wide lane between all the boats to get us out without a scratch. We were all the way in the back of the canyon too.

Maybe they were avoiding trash detail :jawdrop:
some one wasn't by the looks of pics I have seen from the no parking zones...

I am sure they really just wanted to know why someone would paint their boat Home Depot Orange
Are you talking about the confederate themed boat?

Most of the guys I work with are very cool to folks. Most will smile at good peope out having fun, and give those who need closer scrutiny the hard stare. Believe it or not, they're probably boaters much like you and wish they were out enjoying a day on the water instead of working. Glad to hear they were cool to ya! Now about that trash in the channel...
