Lake Havasu - Three Dunes (Thursday, August 11th, 2016)

Our first day of boating since our youngest and her boyfriend got here, so of course the first thing we had to do was go through the London Bridge.  


Approaching the bridge

Cruising through the channel

Heading to open water in Thompson Bay

We see military helicopters all the time at Lake Havasu.  

We finally found a great spot at a place called Three Dunes, where we decided to spend our day. Three Dunes is about half way down the lake on the Arizona side. It is just a little north of Cattail Cove.





The kids decided to swim to this little rock in the cove


If you look closely, you can see them on the little rock, way over there
And then it was time for some stunts









What a great day, just having fun and chilling at the lake.

Just Another Day in Paradise (Thursday, June 2nd, 2016)

We didn't drive our truck down to Lake Havasu City for this short adventure, so we have had to rely on friends to help us out with boating.  Luckily, we have lots of great friends that are happy to share their boats with a couple of hitch hikers.  

Since it is a weekday, the lake is nice and quiet.  

After a quick trip to Havasu Springs Resort for some drinks, we jumped in at the far southern end of the lake to cool off.  The water this time of year is about 82 degrees F and feels great!







When we left Havasu Springs Resort, we drove back up the lake to a spot called Three Dunes.  When we first pulled in, there was a terrible stench!  It didn't take us long to realize that there was a huge dead catfish laying on the shore.  There was no way we would be staying there, so we moved further down the shore where the smell wouldn't bother us.

We spent a very fun, relaxing afternoon playing on the beach and in the lake, just enjoying the beauty of Lake Havasu.












As the sun began to sink lower in the sky, we gathered up our things and made our way back to the channel.





As we dropped Brian and Kathy off in the channel, it was very quiet and peaceful with enough clouds for the chance of a good sunset.








 And as usual, it didn't disappoint us.  Another beautiful Arizona sunset.








 And we finished with a peaceful trip to the boat ramp.
