Seems there isn't alot of hype or excitement for this event on lake Mojave. !!
Is it cause of the location or what ?
What's your take on this ?..................................Doug

We don't care about bragging rights and big turn outs, we care about quality people and no drama. This should be a good workable size group, and I think you'll be able to mingle and meet a lot of new people, since many are coming for the first time. But if anyone thinks they'd have more fun doing something else, somewhere else, that's all cool too!!! We're not pushing anyone to go, we're not over-hyping, we're not doing an arrival list (so people will feel more free to just show up), we're not doing any judging or contests (so people won't be turned off to the party because they feel they don't have a nice enough boat or big enough stereo), no t-shirts, no sponcers, no prizes, and we picked a new location from all previous OPs in hopes of getting some fresh blood out to say hello.
OP6 in the fall is little more than a date and place for people to get together and put names with faces. I believe it will be a really nice day on the water, a great weekend, but that's just me, and I could be wrong.

The one in the spring is normally hyped and everyone gets all excited for it. It is the kickoff to the ragin summer of festivities.
By the end of the season, many are partied out, bored and have broken their boats, or run outta money.
It is traditionally more mellow and thusly no real hype is generated. The location may be part of the issue, as Mojave is typically regarded as a quieter lake than Havasu. Less party spots, no channel, not enough ramps to launch, etc.
It will be nice to have a big beach, I have been where we are meeting and that is a good place. I think its cool to have a little variety in locale.

Last year's fall OP6 in Parker was pretty packed, I think the location has more to do with it than anything else. It sounds like there will be a pretty good turn out none-the-less. We are not going because of the location, if it was in Parker, we would probably be there.
