I feel like this weekend isn't a good indicator of the summer crowds. Desert Storm is always insane.

As crappy as it is, the town may have needed the boost. I'm sure this weekend is a noticeable bump in bank statements for businesses. A sign of "normal"...the old, good normal. Not this BS "new normal" crap they keep telling is about.

There are a shit load of people in town right now. Took my dog for a walk down by the bridge at midnight last night and there were a lot of people out and about for a late Thursday night.

last night seemed far busier than the last few years on Thursday night so it doesn't suprise me.

As of yesterday it required your guests to swim if you wanted to pick them up. The 5pm off the lake exodus is going to be a shit show with only the one south ramp and the way south ramp, add in the rental toons at the south ramp and its gonna be ugly. North ramp really isnt useable beyone one boat at a time if you have passengers to drop off and pick up.

Nautical Inn Captain Club launch ramp is closed to reservations today as of right now. Nonstop traffic at the ramp. If you are a member there are open slots to reserve for a Saturday launch. Deadline is 4pm.

Heading to the slip is the best. There were over 100 trucks/ boat trailers in line to pick up when we rolled out at 730pm.

So lucky!!!!! Love the pups 🐶🦴

Yes my hubs ended up waiting over 1.5 hours to get out of the marina. We have a slip, the same one we have for 3 years now but it sadly doesn’t start until May.

Dock was repaired on the 20th in the afternoon. One section is still broken but it was 3-4 boats launching..the main "L" shape is there..the small dock is still broken and tied off. Ive used it 2x since then it was fixed.

We got out to do the run today, Windsor was a shitshow, between the elderly bitch in the black and green pontoon screaming at people, and the guy that tagged my boat you couldn't pay me to do it tomorrow.

We pulled off the water immediately after we finished the poker run. Fuck sticking around for that mess. I'll get a slip next year. Not doing this again.

I was second in line before Windsor was closed. We went down to Cat Tail Cove and that was closed too. Ended up launching at Havasu Springs. Immediate entry, immediate launch, and pulled out just as fast at 5:00 ish.

Rented a slip at Pirates for 10 days for the launching privilege, I don’t leave our boat in the water overnight. The drive there isn’t bad and there has been zero wait for launching or retrieving. On Thursday we ran up to the Needles bridge, down to Havasu Springs, back up through the channel and then back to Pirates. Really a nice run. Heading out now and will probably do it again today.
