Where did the boat end up?

travis is very quiet now. Seems those 10/[email protected] compression monsters he talks about are sick again. How he has that with 30 overdriven pulleys is beyond my mechanical knowledge.

I still don't see an answer to the original question. We were in Building 5 at Lands End during Aquapalooza weekend. I was putting stuff away in the kitchen Friday afternoon when we heard a loud roar go by. My wife said, "What was that?" "White Lightning", I replied, without even going to the balcony to take a look.

He made three passes by Dog Days within 5 minutes. The third time by I went to the balcony to see Water Patrol sitting near him. WP did not pull up along side. Apparently words were exchanged but no citations issued.

I hear stories of other people getting warnings, tickets, and being told to trailer their boat until the noise level is reduced. So, how does he get away with it?
