Re: calling all lake mead boaters! nevada
Friday and Sat were pretty nice. Friday morning was awesome, as these pics were taken around 10am, then the wind picked up a couple hours later, nothing more than 15-20 and whipped up some 1-2 footers in the basin. The wind died later around 5 Sat. when we were headed for cocktails and to watch the Kings lose at the Spirit Locker. We did an awesome steak BBQ Sat evening with some friends that have a HB in the covered slips who happened to show up. He just retired and didn't know if they were going to stay 1 or 2 weeks...must be rough!
The wind came up later in the day Friday from the SW, but Mushroom was great all day. The only other boat on the beach when we got there were 2 buddys who happened to come down from Meadview and had launched at South Cove. One of them is a neighbor 3 doors down here in CA. He and his wife have been spending more and more time there since he retired a few years ago. It was unexpected finding them out there since they usually hang out at big sandy but he had to burn off some old fuel so they decided to haul their arses down our way.
Sat. was nice again at Mushroom except the wind came up a little earlier. We went to Hualapai Friday to spend some time at our adopt-a-cove picking up trash. It wasn't bad.
The wind picked up from the NE later after were done with the BBQ, luckily because it whipped up pretty good and blew all night into the morning. Funny thing is that when we left TBar around 8:30am Sun the basin there was pretty angry but by the time we got over to Boulder Basin it looked really nice. Go figure.
