I just read on havasu scanner feed the paramedics and fire dept. were dispatched to Windsor, for an accident involving a pontoon. Didn't say what the toon hit

I just listened to the whole posted scanner feed, it did say "tour boat VS pontoon boat at sandbar". Multiple people with minor injuries. One serious injury being transported to Windsor

The blue havasu jet boat thing? That just started going up there. I saw that boat a few weeks ago. In my opinion it's a nuisance to that particular area. Not enough room, but oh well
Hope everyone is ok. That would suck to be hurt up there. Long ways to help

Saw the London jet tour boat with 4 sheriffs boats around it right below the sandbar. Assumed there was some kind of accident

I wonder what caused the pontoon to make a sudden turn?

Evasive action to try and avoid the BUI checkpoint.



I don't know if this was sarcastic, but I didn't notice those buoys heading towards topock in the morning. It was very busy on the water and when I was in that area. I was pretty nervous about the boats going 50-60 dodging the slower traffic. This was by far the most disorganized bs I have seen. I would like to see how the public would react placing a dui checkpoint on any freeway with 2 tiny orange cones before the checkpoint.

Just a dumb joke. Sounds like it was quite the mess, though!

it was CRAZY on Saturday...launched at Jacks, were at Pirates for a good part of the day... then headed to the gorge for a while, then got off the water at 5pm...

while driving the right side as close as comfortable... WFO 40ish in my rollbar boat... I was passed TWICE on the right side..... did I mention that I thought I was on the right side of the river?????

It felt like caddyshack.... the only thing missing was some wakesurfer.... shit...didnt even need a boat... the swells were 3'ish... LOL

glad that one and done is over...my DIL likes to sit on her ASS all day at Pirates cove... (me, I really don't get it????) i didn't ski, wakeboard or wakesurf all day... not my thing...:grumble:

You won't get any sympathy here. According to some, you were impeding guys driving boats that make Havasu what it is. If you thought they were too close it's just your inexperience showing.

Because the tour boat crashed into a pontoon boat? Speed must of been a factor. Slow speed. LOL.

Wonder what kind of "wrench" it threw into the BUI stop. Lots of cop boats at the crash.

Guessing it just slowed down the process for everyone getting stopped

As I said, I don't want it but an accident on the river looks just like a bad hop single in the scorebook. The powers that be just keep adding them up.
