River Rat Waterfront Real Estate  7-2-09

BRING BACK OUR NAVIGATIONAL BUOYS (Channel Markers)!!!!

They are having a big meeting about the {recently} removed navigational buoys / beacons at Blind River, Tickfaw, etc.
Here is the flyer, made by Crazy Charlie, with all the details.
Help get the word out and let's get our buoys / beacons back for boater safety!
WE NEED THEM AND WE NEED YOU AT THIS MEETING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
For Questions, please call Linda At "Mert" Smiley's Office @
225-698-9694

Crazy Charlie will be there, LA. House of Representative "Mert" Smiley will be there, I will there, and if you are a boater, you should be there, too!

 

 

Finally, my thoughts on the removed channel markers and the meeting coming up on July 9th, by RRR

"When it's too hot for everybody else........that's when we just begin to like it."
(Not really, but it sounds impressive!)

The Prop Stop Summer Blowout with RRR and Friends!  Date:  August 22nd, 2009
 
Updated  7-3-09   (what we are planning and remember to keep checking back)

The 1st River Rat Rob Water Cycle Rally  (for jet skis)  October 17th, 2009
(I said I was going to do it!)
Its time for the little guys to play!

Own a jet ski?  Ready to have some fun?  They have "The Mud Bug Nationals" every year on Lake Palourde (Morgan City)  It's HUGE with jet skis from all over attending.
Oct. 17th (Saturday)  No LSU Game that weekend!
An informal, fun event.  Contact rob@riverratrob.com if you are interested.
The weather will be cooler, less boats, less stress, and smaller crowds at the places we go.
Kind of like a mini Sturgess  for the Harley riders, except this is for water cycles (jet skis).
Tired of the same old places?  Don't know where to ride or where to have fun?  We are going to show you!
This is an event for my friends that REALLY like to ride jet skis!  Come and spend the day with RRR and Friends and have some fun.
 

Spread the word and DON'T put that jet ski up too early this year!  Let's extend our boating season just a little bit longer.

Of course, we are going to The Prop Stop, Sun Buns, Fred's, Swamp Waters, The Sand Bar, Thunder Bayou, The Rope Swing, and more!
We will be making the "BIG LOOP"  Don't know what that is?  You will when we are done!

NOTE:  This is an event for the responsible jet ski operator.  No wake jumping, no clowning, or crazy hot dogging.
We ride the same way as our Harley friends ride on the roads.  We just go and have a good time.
Safety, courtesy, common sense, and fun are essential.
We observe all of The Rules of the Road For Boaters! 

 

Hope to see you there!  Now, go spread the word to ALL of your jet ski friends, especially the pretty ladies!

 

This guy is off to tell his friends.  You don't have to be in this big of a hurry!  SLOW DOWN!!!!!

I hope to see my friends from out of town, out of parish, and out of state attend.  I hope everybody up on the Pearl River makes the trip down!  Here is your invitation.  We are NOT trying to set any records, just have a really fun and safe day with some great people that also like to ride jet skis RESPONSIBLY.

Remember to scroll down and check out everything:  We tend to slip some stuff in every now and then!

How did The JAM go?  I think this photo says it all:

It was Randy's last public appearance performing (health).

The Sun (and Jonathan) were smiling.
Randy and Gram knew Jonathan very well.
