hewy phebs....going back next w/e. How was launching at the marina?
BTW, I never go Rice Rd, always Ehrenberg. Way safer....
Lauched at the Marina. We passed their new sound regs. They had us back our trailer down in the lane closest to the dock, and they leaned out over the side approx. 15' from the back of the boat to get their readings. I had Mrs. Phebus back the boat in so the exhaust was completely under water (rear end of Yukon was almost floating!). They only were testing boats with thru hull exhausts. They said all but two of the boats they tested had failed (we were the second, and we were launching approx. 11am Fri.), but with the exception of two boats that tested 105db, and 106db they were allowing them to launch but advised them if they were to come back they would not be allowed to launch without mufflers. The two boats that I mentioned that were extremely loud were not permitted to launch. A friend of ours with the same boat and motor was tested after launching at the dock and failed (his exhaust after launching was above the water line). They stated they were going to issue a sticker in the future to the boats that passed.

Rice Road opened aroun 3PM and did not look that bad. There was a little mud and dried dirt but it was ok. In Havasu on the north side of town we had a great sky show for hours!!!!!!!!!!

[Up 4 River]

The rain and wind were pretty intense Saturday night at Parker. Some of the strogest wind I've seen threre in a long time. Sunday morning the river was basically brown from all the runoff into the water. Then I look up river and see a pontoon bpat floating down river with nobody on board. I jumped in the water and swam over to it and saw it still had the anchor connected to the front, but must have broken loose. There was also a rope still tied to the back that had busted loose. The key was in it so I tried to start it and the boat wouldn't start. I flagged down an Aftershock and the guy was nice enought to pull me and the boat over to the shore where I reanchored it. When I left the boat was still sitting there and nobody had come bye to look fot it. Whe we pulled out of town we saw Rice Road was closed so I thought we would go through Blythe. I got over half way there and the Indian police had closed the road and were not letting people throught and said it would be an hour to drain the road. So I turned around and headed north and crossed over at Agnus Wilson troad and then hit California 95 to the 10. It was a little frustrating, but I got home safe and that's what matters.
