M15 #200, Wee Fun This Lake Havasu seems like a good place to sail from all talk about it. Do many of you guys live near the lake? Up here in Boston I've been looking at my boat on the trailer since October; must be nice to get to sail more than five months out of the year. How is it living out there?

kevin: sean mulligan has lived at lake havasu for most of his life and speaks well of the sailing during the fall/winter. he removes his boat from the lake during spring/summer because of the high-speed, and drunk, power boaters and HEAT heat HEAT and HEAT. is you go through some of the posts in the Havasu Pocket Cruisers Convention forum you can see sean's point of view stated a few times over the past three-to-four weeks. sean posts under the name of 'dauntless'. forum link - http://www.quicktopic.com/40/H/LSmQsY3ZHAv :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 - SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com :: Sage Marine - www.sagemarine.us --- On Thu, 4/7/11, Kevin Lynch <kevnstephanie@verizon.net> wrote:>

Havasu is a somewhat remote town in AZ. The lake isn't the best for sailing but has it's spectacular days. Summers are hot!! If you live in the PHX area, Lake Pleasant is a better lake and is deeper than Havasu. In 7 hours on a trailer, you can be in Maina Del Rey or San Diego. Havasu is about 2 hours closer to MDR. CA offers coastal sailing including Catalina Island. I've known a Monty 17 that went out there for a week with no problems. AND living out here is cheaper than Boston.

Kevin, Sandy mentioned that it's "hot!" in the summertime at Havasu. That's a lot like saying that it snows some in Buffalo, NY. The whole lower Colorado River area does championship level HOT. 100 degree days from now through October are the norm and 120 during the peak of summer isn't unusual. "But it's a dry heat"... except during the monsoon season (peak of summer) when it can be as humid as Boston's worst but 20 degrees hotter. YMMV :) -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Sandy Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2011 9:24 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Re: M_Boats: Lake Havasu Havasu is a somewhat remote town in AZ.

BUT it should be noted that Lake Havasu water and the whole Colorado River is cold, around 54 Deg F the year around. ~~~_/)~~~ Gary ☺ On Apr 8, 2011, at 7:31 AM, Earl Landers wrote:

Gary, If Lake Havasu stayed 54 degrees year around, the fish fauna would be trout and salmon rather than catfish and black bass. I know from experience that the coves reach 80 F in warm weather, and the whole lake above the thermocline is probably nearly as warm. The rivers are of course cold because water is released from low on the dams. Cheers, Tom On Apr 13, 2011, at 4:37 PM, Gary M Hyde wrote:
