Bunch of police boats are headed up River right now hopefully nothing bad happened! It’s blowing pretty crazy the lake is a disaster right now.
I read that someone drowned at Crazy Horse a bit ago trying to save their boat. Hope everyone else is ok.Bunch of police boats are headed up River right now hopefully nothing bad happened! It’s blowing pretty crazy the lake is a disaster right now.
Showed up on another boat last update.I read that someone drowned at Crazy Horse a bit ago trying to save their boat. Hope everyone else is ok.
Just saw that!Showed up on another boat last update.
It was crazy out there. Channel was a sand storm. Barely enough visibility to get out of channel and to ramp. Once at the ramp boats were crashing into dock. Boats sideways on trailers. Chaos. Still trying to flush the sand out of my eyes. Quite the adventure.We got out of the water just as the wind hit. Ryan pulled his boat out in the middle of it. It was a mess.

Instinct is to get the boat out of water , but what is really the best (right) thing to do? I had my cobra get washed up on the beach one time at crazy horse. We went up to restock the cooler and weather changed quick. It was a mess and 7 dudes to get it off the beach but we were all safe.
Since then, It’s always been on my mind as to what is really the right move. Head for land? Beach? Open water?
Closest leeward shore or protection if you can get there to ride it out. If you have time, pull it.
Leeward is protected, windward shore you're screwed.Wouldn’t the leeward shore have the biggest waves and potential for boat damage? Is it for passenger safety?
Not sure I agree with that, the meaning of leeward is sheltered/protected. Why would it make a difference on a lake vs island, never seen that distinction.Because we're talking in reference to a lake vs an island it's kinda backwards in that the leeward shore is hit before windward.
Leeward shore faces same direction as wind.
Windward shore faces at the wind.

For Sunday nights storm the Az shore was leeward.
Leeward is the shore which the wind passes over as it goes offshore. Windward the wind passes over going onshore. Always big waves on windward Generally used to refer to islands not inland lakes.Not sure I agree with that, the meaning of leeward is sheltered/protected.

This leeward windward shores got me confused. All I know if on water I'm headed to the shore or a cove that the wind is blowing from if possible.
I've been on powell when the wind has picked up and one trip we headed into dungeon canyon found a small cove enough for our 2 boats that was protected by a 20 ft rock but about 20 ft behind our boats water was nasty. Sat for 2 hours there nice beach too.
Atleast I would hope so I'm sure I'd get sandblasted depending how close to water but beats other side.Right, go where there are no waves, you should be good!! haha
