We'll be there. Going to try and get a couple ski rides in early. Probably end up in somewhere around the gorge or near topock one day and maybe palm canyon another. Well likely be done and off the water by 2

We didn't get a slip at Dana Point. Probably go out tomorrow and hang at the sand bar and cruise the marina. Maybe go up the coast. Bring the boat home. Wash, rinse and repeat

Launching tomorrow afternoon in Havasu hoping to have a nice time before the craziness. Then once again with friends.

Just Saturday, the weather looks good for Mead. Kick back the rest of the weekend. After this weekend into October the best boating is about to begin.

So our son is talking about wanting to launch at 10am. Going to hang around the channel and take friends around the island. Everyone that is going to be out post up you boat.

Boating tomorrow and possibly Saturday. Tomorrow will make it 6 times this year. With the pool our desire to boat has somewhat dwindled.

Think we'll be boating the big blue this weekend. Leave the boat in the water for 3 days. There's a concert on a boat out in the bay. Plan on side tying to buddies 40' cruiser. Maybe get an island run in or a run up to Santa Barbara for lunch. We'll see. Weather is supposed to be good.

Canceled our Mohave trip a couple of weeks ago. Had two rooms and a slip booked at Katherine's. Got home from work on Wednesday and my wife told me we're going to the river this weekend.... WTF?
Staying in Bullhead at our friend's house. Not sure where we will launch, either Katherine's or Jack Smith, or both...

Launched yesterday. Worked out great, very few people where we went, up towards Topock and hanging around the channel for a couple of hours.

Lake Erie. Hopefully, have a good weekend and burn a bunch of fuel! Warming the globe, 16 cylinders at a time.
Read elsewhere by someone who said a max of 1'-3's predicted?

oh yeah? I haven't looked at the marine report yet.
I would have given serious thought to driving up there this weekend, even if just to watch the air show, but my back issues told me I was done a couple weeks ago.

I kinda realized a while ago that the marine report is usually worst case. Often incorrect. But we have had more wind this season it seems.

Anyone else on Mead this weekend? We're launching tomorrow just the wife and I, and maybe the pups.

Winds kicking up in Havasu, be safe.
A bit of rain as well. It kicked up quickly when we were going out to launch. Pulled the ripcord when we got to the ramp and saw continuous 1’ waves coming into the ramp area. I am sure it would have calmed down but did really want to sit and wait.

Boated all day yesterday. Went up to pirates. Water was pretty low. The wind did pick up for about an hour around 330, big ass waves across the lake. Lol. Was pretty dead until the afternoon. Hopefully it’s quiet again today
