The wife had booked a Patio Boat from Holiday Harbor on Lake Shasta for our anniversary and invited friends and family to join us on the lake. She booked this thing in May 2017, about 6 weeks prior to our date in June 2017. At the same time, she called and booked the Jetovator for Lake Shasta near Bridge Bay Resort. We are talking 6 weeks in advance to book this thing. Fast forward to one week before our reservation, we call and confirm with the owner "Joe", he said everything is a go. Well, we called him the day before we were all set to go out, and he suddenly gets flakey on the phone, "Oh, I've got a meeting down in Chico, let me see if I can get somebody out there to take care of you guys, I'll call you back. Needless to say, we wait around all day for a call back, no such luck. I call the guy as we are standing on the dock at Bridge Bay on Lake Shasta and he tells me that he is not coming. Seriously? We had friends and family loading up the boat and had talked up the Jetovator, because of our awesome experience with Fly Boarding in Cabo San Lucas the year before. The Norcal Jetovator completely ruined our morning, luckily we salvaged the day by renting ride on Wave Runners from a resort on Lake Shasta.
