Was out on Mohave this past week and had a great time. I want to be politically correct here, but does anyone know about an African American event this past week on the lake or in Laughlin. I am not prejudice by any means (okay, only against rude boaters no matter what background), but whoever organized this event should hold a boating safety / ramp rules class before the next event.
Topics could include: Don't park your car in the middle of the launch ramp while folks are driving around you to launch and retrieve. There is a line for folks to wait in to launch and retrieve, you don't just get to drive to the front and take cuts because you have your crew there to back your play. Say thanks when someone holds a door open for you. And, traffic flow on the lake and in the marina is similar to that of the roadway.
I think I'll change next years June trip to avoid this cluster.
Other than that, I got to meet Shockwave Tom and see that beautiful giant PT boat he's got. Nicely done.
I hear you. The line was so backed up so I was just sitting in the boat listening to some tunes and watching the madness. There was this one guy who docked his boat so close to the ramp that it blocked the lane. The guy didn't just dock to load/unload, he docked and went to get his truck which took him about 45 minutes. Last weekend was out of control.
You could ask Robin Boyer if he knows of any rallies up in that area. He might be able to get some organized as well.
What does the African American event have to do with rude boaters. Do you automatically associate the guys that may have done rude things with this event? I was there last weekend and witnessed bad boating by boaters of all colors.
I learned "boat ethics" a long time ago. Has kept me out of trouble.
After Memorial weekend I sent off an email to the mayor of bullhead, chamber of commerce and parks and rec complaining about a similiar situation on the bullhead city park launch ramp. I asked them what my launch fees were for since no one is watching the ramp. Their were cars parked nose in without a trailer on the ramp. I did get a pretty fast response and was told that they have increased their budget starting july 1st to have rangers at the city launch ramp.
I don't know about any of the other launch ramps but the squeeky wheel gets the grease; I have listed the email addresses below if anyone wants to help make a difference. I don't know if Bullhead is responsible for Katherines or not but here they are anyways.

Consider just everyone gettin up early and launch at Cottonwood.
The most awsum "harbor" on the river.
Like the Carribean.
Then head North.
Katherns,, well,, the PWC's and the crazy launch ramp are awful, any day of the summer.

You need to add to the class: The person driving the boat, (it does not matter what race you are) launch and move the FOCK out of the way. You don't need to sit right where you launched to wait for your friend. I promise he/she has probably a 10-15 min (if not longer) walk back to the dock. MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!! Sorry that just irritates the shiat out of me
it was kinda a cluster **** on Saturday
but there was one of the brothas that handled his boat like a pro turned a 35' boat on a dime parked at the courtesy dock
color don't mater dum asses come in all colors
I saw snoop Dog and his posse up there last weekend, plus alot of water rod boats all over the damn place !!!...
