So over the past several days starting Thursday, I was watching the migration of skin, fiberglass and aluminum converge to the channel via the Havasu Bridge Web Cam, I would show my wife and say "hey look at this" or "check that out" (seems the internet is the only way we experience Havi these days) I was wondering if anyone has seen over the top stupidity in this small, stretch of water. We have cruised through this area for 20+ years (we were weekend warriors from OC) and really never seen anything to dramatic... a fight here and there, saw a boat catch on fire once (was extinguished almost as fast as it started) seen girls get arrested for flashing and of course the PWC folks with no vests getting cited but nothing major. Has anyone hit the bridge pilon with a boat? -Saw what appeared to be a close call Saturday, guy looked like he may have glanced off the pilon (he was going very slow) couldn't tell what his deal was from the cam. Ever see Mr. stupid fall on his hand throttle (outboard) and take out a series of boats and god forbid, people ? Seems just so volatile and an "accident waiting to happen" ... The crowds are bigger, boats are more powerful and people seem to be more stupid and less caring plus add the power drinking and drugs and its a perfect combination for a nightmare to erupt.
Sure hope not many respond, it would be nice to know this place is still relatively safe and fun, even on holiday weekends.
