Hi all, thought I'd share our recent 3 day trip up to the lake. We Just pulled off the lake today. This was our first trip of the year. So more work than leisure
We launched ourselves at AP public ramp for the first time ever with our class C V10 RV. Which did a good job. Our boat is 27' and weighs about 6500 lbs dry. For the last 7 years we always used APM valet service to launch our cabin cruiser which they always used a pickup truck but last Thursday they said our boat was too big and their pick up trucks were getting too worn out to launch our cruiser. But we could use their semi for 45$ round trip! Anybody else have similar experience? I wonder if they had an accident? We've had some guys in the past launch/retrieve us who were obviously inexperienced. I hope they get better trucks so we can use their valet service again, can't beat the convenience for 40$ total. We went to Last Chance . There were quite a few beaches on the left hand side NW? But Surprisingly the beaches we saw were taken so we went into a NE Canyon probably 3rd from the end and found a nice small beach to anchor on all the way in the back we benefited from shade in am till about 10am and shade in the evening 6pm. The water level was coming up so fast We guestamated at least 1/2 foot a day! Lots of drift wood halfway back. Saw another otter way back in last chance in a pile of wood rolling around in it.
Unfortunately our gas gage stopped working my husband Matt who's a great mechanic poor electrician, couldn't get it working. Can anyone suggest a good marine electrician in Page?? Planning our next trip for mid-July and already missing the lake.
