Saturday evening just south of the Parker dam, one of our members Hal Bloomer (holorinhal) lost steering in his boat and crashed into a private dock that is part of the Bluewater Lagoon Mobile Park. Due to this, the boat was sunk in shallow waters. Hal is OK and no one else was involved and there was no injuries.

An attempt was made to recover the boat, but the current was too strong and it was left to be recovered in the morning. Authorities were called after they left and salvage was called to recover it. At this time we have estimated costs around $4,500 for him to regain possession of the boat.

Art and Helen Saenz have created a GoFundMe account to help Hal out in raising funds to get his boat back. I urge you all to help out where you can. It is much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for helping.

Don't know him but i have money to burn so why not help out a fellow jet boater, $100 donated, come on guys i know there is more people out there that can spare $100 just don't buy racing fuel one day.

This cracks me up. 300+ people have read this thread but out of the 300+ people that someday might get themselves into a bind has donated money to help him out?? I have never met the guy nor have I ever seen his boat and I donated. Just remember Karma is Mother F****r.....................

I didn't threaten a single person did I??? I just know when boating a lot can go wrong and you would want help, so don't say it's a bit over the top.

Growing up fishing in the ocean every weekend on the family boat I know how things can go to hell in a quickness... And it ain't usually cheap... I feel for the owner and hope he gets his boat back. If I could donate I would... I just got a notice of a bill that's due on the 30th.. And those who sent me the bill knew about it Nov. of last year but yet just send me the notice... The bill is double what I have in my bank account

glad everyone is ok, could have been worse. I'm sure we can help him get it back and there will be plenty of us who will help get it back on the water too.

Supposedly a Calgo cable broke towards end of a big u-turn...nozzle went straight and sent him into the dock.   Not a lot he could have done to save it

So has he been able to get the boat back yet and how much damage was done ro the boat when recovered? Did they put it on a trailer or drag it onto a flat bed and dump it on a lot?
