Reply With QuoteIt just takes a different mind set. Holidays can be a lot of fun, you just need a lot of patience.
I would go early, and launch at Cattail.
My wife and I are trying to plan some 3-4 day weekends down in Havi in the next month or two. The last time I went to Havi on a big weekend was at least 7 or 8yrs ago on 4th of July and it was the last yr the Sandbar was open.
Would we be making a mistake going down on Memorial weekend? Where is the best place to launch on a giant weekend?
Thanks in advance.

its ok if you like the crowds. For me its fun to watch all the goof balls. We do windsor ramp if you get there by 8 am you will be ok
i avoid all the holiday weekends there.. just too much mess. i usually go the week before or the week after.
It depends who you ask. Some people thrive on crowds and choppy water, if you like that, then thats the weekend to go. I tend to do most of my boating on weekdays anymore. I've only got a '21 Ultra, and we take a pounding on busy weekends....or even regular weekends for that matter. I recommend weekdays if you've got a smaller boat. Just my .02.
i wish i had the pic from the channel last year scanned...
but the channel is basically a clusterfawk... it literally looked like 405 traffic
boats damn near to your left right front and back
all the action will be at site 6. should be interesting
I love big weekends. The crowds are fun to watch. We launch at Windsor. We put the boat and truck in the parking lot early and have a friend pick us up. We launch later with no line because the lots are full and we are on the inside of the gates.

we go all the time, never had any problems, alot of our friends who dont want to get up early, get a slip...
i used to do havazoo every memorial and labor day weekend. but i got tired of the rough water and the hot weather. so now i go to roosevelt lake in AZ on those weekends and the water is way smoother and the air temp is usually in the 90's. i do havasu in the spring and the fall now when the temps are less than 100 degrees. believe it or not IMO the desert storm poker run is less rough than havazoo on a holiday weekend. come the 4th of july weekend you can usually find me at mission beach in san diego. spring break at rocky point, mexico. thanksgiving and new years = glamis.
lol, i sound like a snow bird. i have been living in the desert way too long.
