I had friends from California in for the Aquapalooza. They are in the event production and management business. They have computer programs that count vehicles and people at events. That is how they get paid for certain events.

The computer program counted everything in the water that was large enough to be a jetski. This was done on different photos and the photo with the largest number of floating objects large enough to be a jet ski was 3623.

One could assume that not all of these floating objects were "boats" but one would also assume that not all boat in attendance were there at the time that any of the pictures were taken.

The computer also counted items that were two small to be jet skis and floating in the water. That number was 12,464. These items were assumed to be people, but could have been beer coolers floats, etc.

The folks from the event management company used these figures to determine that there most likely were between 3000 and 4000 watercraft, including jetskis, and between 30,000 and 40,000 people in attendance.

These people tell me that anyone who claims to get a more precise number, is just pulling it out of his butt.
