We’re heading out Thursday afternoon thru Monday. Good news, bad news.

Good news is the wind is going to be pretty mild all weekend. Bad new is it’s going to be hot as balls. Looks like plenty of time in the water

I’m guessing yes, but not that many more. Probably more going farther up or to Jack Smith than all the way to Havasu.

I’m going. I’m not launching. Too hot.
prob sit at the pool or a bar a wipe boogers all over, then cough up a lung on someone
So mostly normal weekend. :D We’re hitting the water early. Hide in Steamboat until afternoon and then the pool. Been searching for patio umbrellas for near the pool. Figure we’ll buy a little shade.

Everywhere I went yesterday was closed.

I saw cars at Blondies but didn’t go in.
Even the Nautical had masks signs up and 6’ distancing. I did not go in.

well when everything closes you can Goto LBR.. lol. It’s run by the mayor and seems to be immune from all the hysteria going on?

Still blows my mind everyone closes when LBR stays open.

I am hearing rumor with restaurants closing was due to health inspector or delivery or customers might have tested positive.
Boathouse Grill had to go through a huge deep clean and was able reopen a few days later, but they emptied the place, cleaned interior and exterior areas before reopening

Last couple days have been hot, but the breeze made it pretty nice. Water temp is great and no humidity.

Is Windsor still packed before 9am? Couldn’t get a slip this weekend and haven’t launched out of Windsor yet this season. Really wishing the pool was done right now with the heat!

Same game plan here! This is the time of year we usually head for Lake Powell or Mammoth to escape the 🔥🔥🔥.

You can get a cantilever umbrella. Take the base off and mount it to some steel when you pour the concrete. My buddy did it and it came out bitchen. Mine I just use the base because if where my baja step is

We may still do an offset version. I gotta test it out at 2ish to find the best spot. Either way, turns out shade is a must have!

Just got back from staying at Nautical for 5 days. The wet bar was closed and they asked that there would be no gatherings greater than 10 people in the restaurant and pool area. All the employees were masked up, along with a handful of guests. I didn’t have a mask to wear and was never hassled for it.

LBR - Totally agree. Really can’t say it’s amazing. It’s just too friggin’ obvious.

Some places are closed because their employees have contacted COVID. In LHC those employees are often family or friends.
