How Did You Start Going to the Water?

[314joey]

In 1968 my parents bought a 15' Arkansas (open bow) Traveler tri-hull with a 40hp Johnson (yes, there was a boat named this back then) and they took me and my two brothers to the Mississippi River (by Alton, Ill.) every weekend and we learned to ski and that was it, I was hooked.

I bought my first boat when I was 21 and have had six others, just all getting a little bigger, until now and have had this 35' Formula for ten years now and LOVE it.

There's a reason it's called Crazy Horse!

Went to Spring Splash at La Paz County park with our mini truck club the same weekend Kinnison died. Had no idea about the river even though we were camped right on it. About 4 years later, my parents made a trip to Laughlin, came home and said we should go. So the wife and I hopped in the car with them and made the trip the same day they returned. Been hooked since.

First trip was around 2000 or 2001 I think. My friends on Riverland D row were just boyfriend/girlfriend at that time and the g/f organized a bunch of us and rented two trailers with way too many people for the weekend. A couple of years after that started going sporadically with friends and then I was hooked. I finally purchased my own boat in early 2011.

My dad has had boats my whole life. I've seen pictures of me when I was like 5 or 6 (early 70's) at Lake Berryessa. Boat must have been a 15 footer with like a 50 hp Johnson out board.

My parents made frequent river trips in the 60's. My mom water skied while pregnant with all of us kids. There were times when my dad slept on the deck of his boat as it floated.

Here's a short tribute video I put together in memory of my Dad after his passing in 2003. I'm wearing the Raider jacket on the ramp at Elsinore.
