Who is planning a trip out to Lake Havasu, AZ for the 4th of July? I am going up there for the first time this season. If anyone has gone, could you tell me the best place to dock and where the best coves are for the parties? I am sure that lake will be packed full of T&A. Who else is planning a trip? Peace....JoeUpload

I like staying at the South end so I can get some friggen sleep. But all the parties are gonna be at the Sand Bar, the Channel (under the bridge) and at Copper Canyon. The place is fun, make sure you have practiced your beer chugging skills, there will be much boozing.

you park(your boat) during the day right in town. you CANT miss it. just behind the london bridge hotel. make a trip out to copper canyon (see photos above)which is south i believe. thats where boats hook up(at least during spring break). there is also a sand bar too however ive never personally been to it. dont plan on wakeboarding though unless youre waking up at the crack of dawn which is about 5 am in az during that time of year. otherwise the water is to blown out.

I'm going down there for the 4th with a bachelor party. We have 2 ski boats and a pontooner that we're rigging with a generator, dj equipment, and a couple of poles. You should be able to find us.... hopefully before we sink!! I think we are staying at the Nautical.

Does anyone have the phone # to the Nautical? Is it a hotel or a condo? I will be looking for you Zach. Hey Alan, I will try to find the place you are talking about. Thanks, hope to see you all out there. ******* and beer... Peace.....Joe

Please don't take offense, but this is why I really liked being sober at Havasu last year.

Busy weekends are fun, but you so need your wits about you because of all the drunks. On Labor Day, we just about went through the channel from the south on Saturday afternoon because there was a crazy squall coming through. Got almost to the point of no return and then flipped a beatch. My partner behind couldn't make it and go pushed through by the crowd of g-spotters.

Heading around the island, we were taking waves over the bow (aaargh), but Papa Crowe had an even tougher time in the channel. The boys were with him, and ended up sitting on the boat's four corners trying to keep other rubrails away. Didn't work all the time.

We did actually get some good riding in that weekend, and never once dawn patrolled. The people watching is fun, to be sure, but as for the boat driver and hopefully one other adult, PLEASE don't drink - when things get ugly, which they will, you'll want all your facilities.

Some guy next to us on the launch ramp (Windsor) had his engine friggin explode. The engine cover flew across the dock deal onto our side of the ramp. I'm in the Sequoia waiting to push down into the water and the launch ramp just shuts down. Black smoke was cranking across, his little piss ant extinguisher didn't do the trick. It could've easily been real ugly for nearby boats/people.
