Several of you wait for summer to go visit, however this was therapy for me... an early morning drive to Havi to get the boat out of the garage and put her on the water. I went to lunch down at the springs, hung out in the sun and got in a few pics to share with you... I think you will enjoy em!
This was the sunrise on Thursday morning, just past Newberry Springs

this did not come out, but it would have read 37 degrees just before Ludlow

A small delay, comin into Needles

Things always get better when you get that first glimpse of the lake

Still gettin better at the garage, I missed her... (obviously)

I even got to check in early

I think you all missed the memo to be there...

Just about right. My tach reads the same, but the speedo shows 10 less. I'll have to get that fixed.

an air assult (approved fly bye) on havasu springs was made by a couple of CH-53's (I think), anyway they were kool and they were right on time as I walked down the dock to my boat

a bit of wind came up up on the water but at sundown it calmed a bit

I had my prop lab finished, the rpm's are up with no change in the speed (gps matches). I hit the rev limiter now (where as never b4) and still have room in the throttle. This may benefit me more in the heat of summer, otherwise I will be going back to the prop I was runnin before.

Throttle, you suck, you rat bastard!! (said with love of course) I'm jealous!!
I was supposed to be leaving to go out in the morning, but I've got the stomach flu, so hoping to head out Tues. morning. I've got to finish up the new stereo, and get my outdrive fixed.
By the way, I never realized your storage unit was right across from mine.

Thanks for reminding me just how beautiful Havasu is.
I think living here so long, I take for granted the fact that
I see the lake everyday. When I looked at the pictures, it's like
looking at it through someone else's view.
It really is amazing! :boxed:
