I was second to make a pass. After., I put the boat on the trailer and went to breakfast. At 10:30 I got on River Dave's 29' Hallet with two 377 scorpions. After all the boats got a helo photo run we went to Havasu Springs for lunch. Then went to 3 dunes cove and hung out for 4 hrs. Then back to The Nautical. I was designated driver so I didn't drink. Driving his boat was a blast. Never drove a boat that big. Tomorrow we up river to Pirate's Cove for lunch. Pics soon.

Maybe higher. Made it to Pirates's Cove for lunch. On the way back we were running with the wind. Until you get to the part of Havasu that opens up, the water is calm. The lake part which is wide open is another story. We were running 40 in 3 to 4 foot seas. We were running with the wind and that made for a fun ride. Dave's boat handles this very well. We did get airborn a few times. I was not driving. Pics to follow.
Got back to the room for a shower and off to a restaurant in town for dinner then back to the Nautical for more of the same as last night. Band and all.
These people are party animals and Dave knows everybody.

The wind died down and it warmed up so I did launch at Pirates Den. Ran up and down for about and hour and headed back to Phoenix. Back in Phoenix now. Will head for home tomorrow.
This was a combination Monster Storm/River Dave's 10th anni party. The first two pics are the awards banquet Saturday night for the Monster Storm folks. The last pic is at Pirate's Den. It was hard to leave the river Sunday.

Four events in four week ends. When this trip is over I'll have traveled just under 5000 miles. I10 is getting better because they are repaving a lot of the bad spots. I burned about 100+ gallons of VP C12.
Once again I did not meet a single person who wasn't friendly. All great people for sure. I am starting to meet some for the second or third time. I usually try to wear something that identifies me as coming from Texas.
I had heard bad reviews about the Nautical Inn. People were saying the rooms were worn out and old and musty smelling. They must have spent a ton of money on paint, furniture, carpet etc because my room was great.
If you ever get the chance to come out here, do it. You won't be sorry.
Next Spring I'll be back with the Baja. My daughter gets married the end of April.

My pleasure. I'm glad you enjoy the thread. There are times I wish I had a camera not just a cell phone. When we were idling thru the gorge (no wake zone) the mountains are spectacular. In places they come straight down 400' to the water. The blue green water and the red mountains and the cobalt blue sky is really stunning. See the top pic on "reply 49" as an example.
