Buena Vista 4/3/05 "Boat Launch Comedy"

[Brian Ray]

These guys were trying to pull their Sea-Doo's out of the water :supp: .....someone forgot to attach them to the trailer :hammer2: .....After taking a couple pic's and having some good laughs we went over to help them put their Sea-Doo's back on the trailer. ;)

Duh! That might leave a mark. :jawdrop:
Last trip to Castaic we saw that happen to a boat.

[Lightning]

Note the rental RV as well.... rental RV + Sea Doo = Disaster

[coolchange]

I was supposed to go to BV last week end. Was it that cloudy all W/E?

[dicudmore]

oops ;)

[Brian Ray]

I was supposed to go to BV last week end. Was it that cloudy all W/E?
No, Sat. was really nice....not a cloud around.

[Racer277]

BR, is it often that people launch ski's in the boat area?
I don't know why they do that. :hammer2:
I never even considered it, but have seen it a few times in the last few years.
Bet you had a nice one on sat, Sunday was a different story.

[Beer-30]

Racer, if they are not familiar with Lake Feces, they may not know to launch their rented weed-eaters down at the other launch. Usually, people only do it once. Especially ones that don't hookem to the trailer, eh?

[Brian Ray]

I think every time I've been out there I've seen someone launching or pulling in thier personal water crafts at that ramp.
Yeah, Sat. was really nice...can't wait to go out again. I think the next time we go out will be when we have the new boat. :D which should be in another month or so.

[JetBoatRich]

JetSki people crack me up :rolleyes:

[Beer-30]

BR, what boat are you getting?
I wasn't out Sat, I was flying and came home to put on my drive shower.

[Brian Ray]

We're getting a Sanger V210.....

[Beer-30]

Ah. No trips to big lakes in your future, eh?

[LUVNLIFE]

Classic damn action :)

[Brian Ray]

We mostly boat locally or go up to King's River when it's flowing...can't stand Havazoo. :messedup: We can still go to Mead just have to watch the weather. We took our current boat out there last year and on a day when it was windy we got pretty beat up. :frown: We mostly like to water ski so Sanger will be perfect....throws a nice wake or lack there of. :D

[Beer-30]

Yeah, other than when I was a kid, I have done most of my boating in a Malibu. Some friends have one and we have been taking it to Mojave and Havasu 3-6 times a year. Always end up at 15 mph due to water; unless it's dead calm. Tourn boats are, however, great for BV and such. We have always wanted to boat on occasional holidays, and never could on the big lakes. I waited and waited and finally got a boat to hand that. They still have their Malibu for other trips.

[Brian Ray]

Yeah, your 30' should have no problems handling the swells of Havazoo, Mojave when the winds pick up, or any of the big lakes. Can you sleep under the bow....perfect boat for Mead, Mojave, and Powell. It would be nice to have the best of both worlds but I guess since most of us can't afford to have both we just have to choose......

[Beer-30]

Yes, there is a cover for the bow (privacy) and the seats in the mid-cuddy make a bed. Could spend the night.
I just got it in Jan, and its an '01 with only 165 hours. It is like new, but I bet I paid similar to what your V210 was (if it's a new one). I searched to get the most boat for the money. And I will still ski behind it!

[aqua8410]

I was having lunch in our Motorhome and saw what was going on. Also did you see the flat that sunk on sun? The patrol boat pulled it in and after stopping at the launch ramp it went down. Pretty sad as it looked like alot of $$$ in the eng.....

[Brian Ray]

No I didn't see the flat....what time was this?? Man that sucks....

[aqua8410]

It happend around 6pm sun night, We stayed until wed and the whole place was empty. We were the only boat out there and the water was like glass. The kids had a great time riding the tube......... I also heard they are having big money problems at BV. They closed the gas dock and the snack bar and we were talking to the store owner and he may be closing the store for good. They are charging him to much money. The roads suck around the campsites as they have big pot holes all over the place. According to the store owner the state won't put up anymore money to inprove the park and they may try to sale the park to a private owner. According the the store owner the days are numbered. Just what we heard.

[Mrs.Racer277]

That sucks. Not good news for us. It is not a great lake on the weekends with all the idiots out there. But after work it is awesome. :(

That is bad news :o the docks were run down and dangerous :mad: but it was nice to have a store and gas near by :confused:
Been going there since I was a kid, hope it does not close :jawdrop:

I hope not....we love going up there :D

[Brian Ray]

Wow, that sucks....I hope that doesn't happen.

[Beer-30]

Or.....maybe a private owner would fix the place up nice? Providing he/she doesn't charge any more than they already do.
Probably be out there Sat., but maybe Sun. Sunday supposed to be warmer. Will have the in-laws with me, so low-key no-soda day. Just put drive shower on and fixed an ECM issue, so I want to give it a run on the backside :D

[Beer-30]

Wifey and I decided Sunday will be better, since it will be warmer. Temp doesn't matter to me, but the in-laws get cold. :cool:

[Brian Ray]

Might see you out there as we might be out Sunday as well....

[Digger]

I'm going to try to make it out there Sunday.
