Well,
After hanging out at the sand bar for a few hours, Dave , warlock25 , myself and a few others head up to Topoc for a few burgers and such..... Great time....
As we were leaving , we walk down the gangway to the docks and one party is coming up a the other ( us ) coming down...
I get to my boat, start to tiddy up the cuddy and I begin to hear this screaming, yelling and some caryring on. I peek out to see this grouchy guy yelling at Dave and Dave starting to yell back... I pop up to say : HEY ! BE NICE ! , and this grouches supercharged focus goes from Dave to me as I am identified by someone for calling this guys Mom or Wife / Girlfriend a "beached whale"....
** I'd be real curious to hear form Dave on this one.....lol
Anyhow, on the way down.. I didnt think anyone had said anything beyond the traditional river salutations & an excuse me/us ... It was a little odd or wierd though and I think the guy totally has other issues he brought to the party besides the whale(s)... So we all get into the boat and jam back to the channel ...
Here's where it gets funny..... After arriving in the channel and hanging out for while.... We decide to take in the sunset and the last few cocktails for us all before dinner at Copper Canyon.....
We pull in and see these bigger boats rafted together ... so we ask to tie up, they say ...sure join the party... !!!
Perfect, I grab the lines / bouy's out and start to manuver into place and all the sudden out of one of the rafted boats cuddy pops up Oscar The Grouch and he starts in again !.... I roll my eyes and tell the guy hes got it all wrong, etc... , but at 7:15 how do you reason with an out of control guy.... He starts in with ... " Oh my god!, out of all the places, boats in havasu.. YOU have the balls to come over here , etc.. la, la, la, la ,la,la , la, la ......"
We just started up the engines and putted away, but Sunday at Breakfast we were laughing our butts off because "Oscar" actually had a valid point out off all his regular bullshit venor spew .. and that was : Out of all the boats and places....
Well until next voyage.....

Rick, it wasn't me that called her a beached whale.. To be honest I don't think anyone actually did? Atleast I sure didn't hear it when we walked by her and I walked by with the majority of the group? I just carried a girl that didn't have any flip flops down to Warlock 25's boat.. I put her down and turned around and this dude was all up in my face talking about "Those ****ers in the checkered boat" and this that and the other.. LOL **** if I know?

If she is fat, she is fat,
maybe he should get rid of her, if he is tired of the blubber

Hey dude, the same shit could've happened to anybody?
I think someone in the group said
"excuse me can I get by you" and she heard "beached whale" in that somewhere?? Either that or she just flat made it up? (chix can be crazy sometimes?)
All I know is I turned around and this guy was yelling and calling people fockers n what not.. LOL

Yeah the whole thing was very highly suspect.
In fact, I think the second sighting was more a self
defense mechanism on his part.. rememeber: It's not the
loud guys screaming red in face and yelling you gotta really
worry about..... Its the white in the face and silent types that really scare the shit outta ya.... Anyhow lol, maybe he thought we were coming to get'him or some shit...lol

I arrived in their boat, but I was running back to Havasu in another boat. I just carried a girl that didn't have any flip flops on becuase the dock was hot etc.. So when I turned around to walk to Marks boat I maybe took 10 steps and I see him all pissed off coming down the dock.. LOL I still don't believe that anyone in our group said anything to his chick even remotely of that nature, but whatever.

Jackpunx,
For sure my man !!! Anytime. You have to let me know when you be up there , etc... I love boat'in people - all my friends are city dwelling metro types that just dont get it or understand.... Shucks, I'd be out every weekend if I had the company - So let me know, I'll be there and if Dave doesnt buy ( lol ), I'll arrange the beer & straws.....
That sure was a snappy trip back from Topoc. We were running !
Your boat looks good !
Cheer's,
Rick32:cool:

I serioulsy just dont like being close to people at speed on coming or coming up on tehir stern .....No one knows the right of ways , they dont look, etc.... Like that Jet skier Warlock blew the horn on on th way up.... In fact on that same turn coming down a cat passed my transome with 6-8 feet of clearnce at speed
.... So, I just make sure I have safe distancce and NEVER try to geuss what some is gonna do... when I get a clear stretch I'll take it though ! ....
As for me in Parker.... with my exhuast, I'll be rolled by LE
on either side in no time flat - probley a world record... I am totally dry so it not good call on my behalf, but I'll ride and buy ! Just let me know when...... We'll get the same crew going !

The dude that was yelling almost ended up going in the drink. LOL :D Didn't figure it was prudent though being that jackpunx was entertaining all his business associates n what not.
