It was quite windy today on Havasu, we launched off quite a few whitecaps. Even in Steamboat is was too windy to set up a day camp, so we went and hung out in the Channel for a while.

You think thats big, you should have been out last Saturday afternoon during the poker run. Gusts over 40 mph with 4-6 swells. There was stuff breaking on the shore I could have surfed.......All in all still looks pretty windy today for you...

Is the water getting warm yet? Thinking about heading out in a couple of weeks.

We didn't really get in, the kids are kinda chicken. I was wading around in the channel a bit, and it was cold, but not so cold you couldn't get used to it. Should be fine in a couple weeks.

Big difference in just a day. Kids were swimming in the channel, and tons of boats - on a non-holiday Friday. The Eliminator Regatta is this weekend, so tons of artwork by Bob Leach on display. I just stood on the swim step and watched them go by with my camera in hand, forgetting to take pictures.
I took Donna on a ride across the chennel and got some photos while I was out. Here's the kids on the pontoon.

Windy days are not much fun on the water. :(
Interesting to watch the big profile boats and pontoons trying to maneuver...it is a challenge for some of them for sure.
