The organizers for the event on Lake Travis were in contact with the Lake Martin organizers early on in the process and the marine police talked to a couple of different law enforcement agencies that were part of the Travis task force. They asked us what went right, what went wrong, etc. and what we would do differently. My opinion remains that much of the success of the Lake Martin Aquapalooza event came from the plan put together by Russell's folks and the hours and hours of hard work the LMRA volunteers and others put in to "park" the boats for the event. Looking at the video and pictures from the Lake Travis event it looks a lot like the plan that was put in place for Lake Martin.

As for law enforcement comparisons, the Texas Parks and Wildlife department alone sent 68 officers and 20 patrol boats to the Lake Travis event and there were over 100 uniformed officers on patrol on the water. At our event there were 24 marine police officers in 7 patrol boats and each sheriff's department had a boat staffed by deputies. We made 30 custodial arrests and issued about the same number of citations. The other numbers were comparable as well. If you figure we had 35,000 people come through, then 30 is a drop in the bucket and I'll take that ratio any day.
