BTTW Poker Run and the Water Patrol Cops !!!!!!!

[Balzy]

How is this for great publicity of our sport. This is an e-mail I recieved from Sgt. Gerald J. Poltrock, II of the Weyauwega Police Department / Waupaca County Sheriff's Department Water Patrol.

Mike,

Deputy Gorchals and myself would like to congratulate you and your BTTW group for having a safe day of boating on the Wolf River. We were impressed with your deep concerns for all the boaters safety and the attention to detail that all the boaters had with respect to boating law. It would be our pleasure to assist you again next year in any capacity that we can.
I also would like information on how I can obtain a photo of my ride in your boat. Please forward that information to me at your earliest convenience.

Thank you again!!!

Sgt. Gerald J. Poltrock, II
Weyauwega Police Department
Waupaca County Sheriff's Department Water Patrol

This was after I took Gerry for a 90+ MPH ride. He loved it and said he needs a Hotboat now. They hung with us all day on the poker run. He had to make a call up the river to help a stranded boat and wanted to stay with us. He said to me "You know if you would borrow us one of your boats, we could get back here sooner" !!!!!! They are a couple of great guys. We had a blast with them. Thanks again to Pat, Gerry, and Brian.

....but I was impressed how fast they went across Poygen with that 175 Merc. They were cruising at 50+!

Getting the police involved early was a great idea. They had flyers distributed to the residents along the river informing them of our event and that it would only last a day. How cool is that?
