You were expecting (hoping for) something different?<br />Was alive before you arrived, will be alive after you are gone. :p

Re: iboats West get together!!!

Getting down to the wire . . .<br /><br />Still on for Saturday April the 1st @ 12:00, main docks in front of the Nautical Inn. No foolin' :D <br /><br />My BIL said that he saw a sign last weekend at one of the launch ramps that on the water campsites were full (Breakers). He is still planning on trying to secure Friendly Island on Wednesday the 29th. No guarantees though, so a back-up plan may be prudent for those thinking of camping on the water. I have a reservation at the Nautical, but still plan to camp.<br /><br />Any ideas for events? From the beginning I have been thinking let the weather help us decide what to do when we hook up. I am not a scheduled event type 'o guy, but maybe a largest fish for those that fish and bluest skin for those who plan on getting wet, brrrrr . . .<br /><br />I'd love to head to the Sandbar if it's not blowing too hard and maybe Pizza at London Bridge that evening, but completely open to suggestions. I'd prefer not to drive anywhere . . . Maybe cutest baby, but I think Drowned Rat Jr. has that locked up. Wait, wait, there is another . . .<br /><br />It's supposed to be 85 today and looks like we are entering more of a Summer type pattern. Keep your fingers crossed.<br /><br /> Havasu Weather <br /><br />quietcat22 at adelphia dot net<br /><br />

No kidding. I'm gonna do a restart, open about 4 or 5 IE windows, and kick the kids off the net. I think we're gonna need some bandwidth to be competitive . . . :eek:

Re: iboats West get together!!!

This thread sure got quiet! I got a fish finder added to my boat and plan to test it this weekend. Also will make for easier hauling of the boat if I run some gas out of her tank before heading up to Havasu.<br /><br />I predict 80 degree temperatures - sunny skies - and free beer! Sound good to you all?<br /><br /> :)

Never seen beer get warm before to need a cooler :) <br /><br />Temperature today at Lake Havasu will be a cool 84 degrees. Extended weather forecast for April 1'st is "Free Beer all afternoon lasting into the evening hours".<br /><br />Taking my 20 foot boat out this weekend to Lake Plesant for an on the water boat show. People bring out their boats they want to sell and people can actually try them out. Not selling mine - but may be a fun day.

Re: iboats West get together!!!

Are you doing that deal? Sounds like the best rooms there too. The cove rooms are not as nice, but more of a party if that's your gig. The Naked Turtle Bar is just to the right of where this shot is taken from. Those are the cove rooms across the . . . errr . . . well . . . cove.<br /><br />

Re: iboats West get together!!!

Yup. The rooms in John's email C & P are left of your picture. Past the bar and past the dock. Nice long sandy beach. <br /><br />The boats in the cove are always a mind blower. There is a restored Campbell usually beached right in front of the bar, where that blue one is. Really classy boat and built there in town. One of the better stores on the water is right where those people are standing too as a reference for anybody else.<br /><br />Have you seen the web cam? There is a guy retrieving at the ramp right now.

^Bump^<br /><br />Weather looks like it's gonna work.<br /><br />Also, let's all (not really quite sure who that is anymore . . .) try and bring cameras. I'm thinking we can hold a best picture contest by using the Poll process when we return. All iboats members could then vote on the "best", possibly in a variety of categories depending on quantity . . .

Haha - these turkeys! I called and asked if I could get this deal and they said no because I had already made a previous reservation.<br /><br />Go figure.

If they do not have that deal I will call around and see what I can find the wife was not going to go so I was going to camp. But she wants to go now so camping is out for us :rolleyes: anyhow will update tomorrow. :p

MRS,<br /><br />Try Expedia<br /><br />Also, no guarantees, but I may have a room. I am still camping. BIL is going out tomorrow morning to scope out Friendly Island, but we have a weather and wus out back-up room that we will probably not use. One of the guys in my party has two 13 YO girls, and he need the room if they decide not to camp. Actually it is in his name . . . He has to cancel by tomorrow night if we don't plan to use it. It is a cove room.<br /><br />quietcat22 at adelphia dot net

Didn't know that you guys are on this tread too!<br /><br />Since it is now definite that the wife is not coming-she had to go to work this w/end; anyone on this group still in need of a room are welcome to stay with me in the house; 2 furnished rooms available-no charge. Email me if you're interested, st2216 at yahoodotcom. Lot's of space to park the boats and RVs on the side yard...<br />I would be there already by Friday AM, I planned on fixing the garage door/opener; leaving Sunday afternoon...
