This isn't an event or anything.. but myself and some friends are going to Pirates for Breakfast leaving the north side of the channel around 9:00 am.

At around 11:00 we are gonna run over to my favorite beach which is just south of Topock.

The sand is extremely fine (like tropical beach sand) with no rocks. You can see there is a large sand bar that stretches south of it. you can walk your boat across that sandbar to a little protected area if you like, or just beach on the outside like I did here.

I call this place "RDP Beach Headquarters"
It has room for 70-80 boats I'd bet.

After that doing a little pool drinking at Topock before heading back to Havasu.

Any and all are welcome. If your gonna be out that weekend let me know by just responding to the thread and saying your going. I just want to know if I should have Pirates reserve a parking section for us or not.

You would have to dig a small channel to get it through.. lol. I'd just anchor is out on the outside if I was running a v drive. Or use two sand spikes instead of an anchor. Or better yet one anchor and a rope to someone else's stern with them having a sand spike on the beach.

No sweat, yea UCH drafts some water all right. I have a couple spikes, anchors, and a slide anchor.

Good deal.

Are you bringing the whole crew?

Nope, looks like I'll be picking the daughter up from the airport that weekend.

I let you in on a little secret...If you go the the south end of the sand bar and the water is up you can get into the lagoon fairly easily.

We have our Trailer at Pirates in Spot L1 right now and we will be there that weekend. Also renting one of the cabins that weekend for the rest of my kids and grandkids. Count us in!

Look for us and come by for a beer and say Hi...

But I don't think most people recognize that it's a beach and keep going. I'm surprised how open it usually is, but that will now be a thing of the past. Thanks Dave.
