This is how we spent a few hours on Saturday...it was a beautiful, but windy day at the lake. It was fun watching the FAST/EXPENSIVE boats flying over the waves 'with the greatest of ease'. This is a big event for Lake Havasu and has brought lots of revenue to our city. Not that we had to pay to watch, that part of it was free, but we saw boats from all over...Montana, Oregon, Utah, Michigan, Canada, California...and on and on. These people "with lots of money" had to stay in our hotels, eat in our restaurants and shop in our stores bringing money to our fair city. These boats are easily in the hundreds of thousands of dollars-range! Tom and I watched them parade down the channel on Friday morning, so we got to see them up close. Very pretty but glad we could look and leave them to someone else to care for and to have all the expense and up-keep!

only in havasu - hee hee. i have been meaning to comment on this post for awhile- but got lazy knowing you were at convention, but you're back already & i still haven't gotten my rear into gear. owning a boat like that is the ultimate sign of wealth- it's purely for pleasure-- yikes- can you imagine?! anyway glad your town got to benefit from some of the big money=)
