“No Next Weekend” Raft Up

RiverDave · Apr 22, 2020

Typically this week Stacy and I are insanely busy doing everything from a little shopping for our friends

Sorting about 15k worth of clothing and packing it all in getting ready for our busiest day of the year “Street Fair” tomorrow..

We are all sitting here wondering what to do, and a little bummed that we aren’t going to see everyone.

So here’s what I’m planning to do. Not the weekend of, BUT THE WEEKEND AFTER, AZ OPENS UP COMPLETELY!!I figured I’d invite everyone

ALL BOATS / ALL MFG’s out to a little raft up in a cove! I’d ask that people stay on their own boats as the virus won’t be completely gone, but I will leave that to whatever people are comfortable with in their own groups and families.

I’ll bring out a helicopter for a group shot and individual running shots can be prepaid if people want them.

If there’s enough interest I will get also pull together a Legendz evening party / boom bandits etc!

Nice idea.

This however, will go sideways fast. And ALAN is going to have an coronary.

Whenever Ducey says AZ is good to go, not that weekend, but the following..

So let’s say Ducey says “Hey Dave you are old to go to Javalina’s for those fajitas and iceberg drinks you like so much” and that’s on Wednesday.. well not three days on Saturday, but ten days.

That will give everyone enough time to get their things in order and come out.

Judgement, soapboxes, etc. The actual events sound great. If we are in town, we will probably be in.

Cant make an omelette without breaking a few eggs

Not sure why anyone would have a soap box if it’s a full week after AZ opens up completely?

Arguing with people over senseless topics ranging from rack storage to whether or not one should philosophically be able to travel during a lock down order to ones vacation house seems a little beneath you. Lol

I digress

I usually spend my boating time on the lower river but for this event, I am coming to Havasu for the weekend without any groceries.

DWC · Apr 23, 2020

Steph was trying to get me out there this weekend. This would be a good reason to delay it a week. Looking forward to getting on the water.

BUDMAN · Apr 23, 2020

We’ll be out next weekend. Just might not raft up

So coronacation’s over? bummer we’ve been to needles river, big bear, havasu out on the beach... Living #bestlifeever! This was today...Wednesday mid week boating at its best. People respecting the “fuck all the bullshit - let’s have fun” rule

see you on the water this weekend for dessert (not sheeple) Storm. Awesome weekend so far.

CobraDave · Apr 23, 2020

I love that Nordic deck and those colors/ graphics are timeless

SCV2RVR · Apr 23, 2020

Thanks for posting all those pictures. Nice little break from all the doom and gloom on the news

HubbaHubbaLife · Apr 23, 2020

Great pics Dave.... That houseboat shot with about 4 cop boats side tied was a bit disturbing but really enjoyed all the others. I bet there's a good story from that day.

There were some really nice deck boats. An advantage Howard Nordic and then of course that bad ass MTI (not a deck boat

)
