Owning a wakeboard boat I can’t really trim. So I’ll have to race to a cove.

The Red boat had a fouled prop. 😮

Living in the Northwest, this is just a part of boating. I have enough supplies to stay a night on the boat. I have had to seek shelter in a cove with two anchors, for 6 to 7 hours before. You cant outrun it. After the storm water was beautiful. Im doing this on a V-Drive cruiser.

Wife asks me why I dont want to take the boat out since we live so close to lakes now.

Too damn hot, and too many clowns. Ill wait a few months for my season to start!
Moved to havasu full time last week, I have had zero desire to go out on the lake right now. No rush to hit the water, I have all the time in the world

I can only guess or imagine what the insurance claims will be on all of those wakeboard beds that are stacked up against the boat ramp beat up, broken prop and struts

The first thing I’d do is put on and make my passengers wear their life preservers. Then I’d have them sit down and hold on while I keep the bow pointed into the weather. As soon an it passes we will have a good story to tell..

Got caught out once as a newer boater, made our way to Winsor ramp like a noob. We saw the shit show and said, fuck it, bow up and putted down to the channel to ride it out. Being new doesn't mean you can toss common sense out the window.

Sucks that all these boats got damaged. However, for the life of me, I cannot understand why someone would attempt to load there boat in a storm with big swells, in an unprotected part of the lake? I guess it boils down to inexperience. I was taught to point the bow high, find a cove and wait it out.

I think that ramp has the most fights of any ramp in the west, no way would I launch there when there are 2 other ramps on the lake that are protected.
