4 FRIENDS, 2 DOGS, & 1 BOAT

Yesterday was an almost perfect day for a few hours on the lake. With the boat in the water at the marina for the month of March, we headed that direction about 11am. When we cruised through the channel for the first time, there wasn't much activity, even though spring break is in full swing. Being the middle of the week, and the fact that the late night action keeps most of the kids in their motel rooms until late, we didn't see much going on.

We cruised across the lake to Havasu Landing Casino & Restaurant, where we had a leisurely lunch. It was leisurely because they were busy, and it took quite awhile for the food to get to our table. Since we weren't in any hurry, it didn't matter, and the food has always been not bad. By the time we were finished, it was well after noon, and we headed back to the courtesy dock where we had the boat tied up. We then headed down to Copper Canyon, to see if there was anything going on. There were a dozen or so boats, with lots of noise, some of it was even music, but it was relatively quiet compared to the weekend activity in the party spot.

After a cruise around friendly island, we headed back north for another cruise through the channel. This time there were quite a few boats parked on both sides, and it looked like the kids were working up to another hangover tomorrow morning. The zip line was getting a workout as we watched several people taking advantage of the new spring break attraction.

After parking the boat, we headed home, and later, I BBQ'd a couple of pork tenderloins, and we had a nice dinner outside on the patio. I took a few photos of Bob & Shirl's new dog "BEAU", as he and Sami kept busy playing, and/or begging for some food from the table.

We have enjoyed having our friends here for the last couple of days, and look forward to their next visit. We're also looking forward to a visit from Bob & Diana Rush, who's trip south had to be delayed a few days due to my back problem, and Patty's cold.

  1. Patty looks so cute relaxing on the boat. We sure enjoyed out excursion around the lake last month. Thanks, Guys. Hope to see you in Boulder.
