I'm going to go to Jimbo's in Needles and take pictures of some of his boats. Here is a young Jimbo about 1966 at the Needles Marathon...

Yep Beaver! :D

I caught the boat racing bug when I was seven and it hasn't let go of me yet. I was also a shutter-bug back then too -- I've got some pretty neat photographs from the old Havasu's and Parker Enduro's all through the 70's.

I vowed that some day I'd race there -- and I did!

And that is also where I found my future husband.....but you know that story - you were there! :)

My brother took this one - Havasu 1970
