Lake Havasu – 5/16

Filed Under Boat Stories | 2 Comments

We got the boat to Havasu for a nice weekend.

Man – it all worked out. Nothing wrong. Boat ran great. Weather was great. Beach was great. Kids were great. Hell, even I was great. We also got around the Bridge a bit and enjoyed Hawaiian Shave Ice. (Hawaiian is kind of a thing as you’ll see).

We lucked out and got Rachie’s Cove again. This is definitely our favorite spot. It’s tucked away on the CA side of the lake around the Family Coves area. img_0256Close enough to the bridge – but far enough too. It’s cornered in such a way that the waves break and then slowly drift to the beach. The trees are overgrown just enough to create a shade and the beach is long enough that the girls have a full 30 yards to play. The water was up this time (probably 10 feet I would guess). Lots of trees to tie the boat off too and no hidden trees or rocks underwater. As I said last year – it’s a wonderful place to be memorialized in.

And the wildlife. Wow. Jackasses, ducks and of course all colors of bugs.img_0264img_0266

A new thing we have created is the lunch mommy packs. This time was turkey sandwiches with Hawaiian rolls. Cut strawberries and blackberries. img_0260And Coors. Damn tasty.img_0259

Of course we ate at Mudsharks. However. Someone needs to let ownership know that “Up River” needs to be on tap from April to October. I don’t know who schedules this shit but they need to get it together. Twice now I’ve had to settle for other beer. No bueno.img_0267img_0269

Something else to note (mostly for myself): We will be getting a better camera. The iPhone is a kick ass phone but it doesn’t do the quality photos like I wish. All of these photos are from my iPhone. Last year we used our Olympus and I hated using it. Time to spend a little cheddar and get a quality camera. Too many good shots missed.

    Hey there, I also own a 24 Campbell Cuddy, born and raised in Havasu and knew Jack & Ellie & Tana well. My parent’s were in the Relics & Rods and Tana was my first girlfriend. Do you go to Havasu often?

    @Kevin – We’re in Havasu for almost every trip. I grew up in Parker.
