It's starting

We were in the marina Thursday-today doing spring cleaning on the houseboat and I was shocked at how empty it was! I did try to take my kids to Horseshoe Bend and upon pulling up and seeing that it cost $10, I turned around. I guess that’s how long it has been since I was last at that spot…..
 
Thought we'd beat the rush and go out this week. Left early and stopped early in Padre Canyon where we met the wind. Only found smallies so far. BUT found plenty of beach bums......er beach bags getting ready for Memorial Day weekend. Bags are waiting for next weekend in Kane Wash and In Padre Canyon. (Edited. Hope this attachment works)
So Memorial day is a week away, and the rich folk are reserving 'their' spots. On one hand, I don't like that, on the other hand, well, in theory they could have their houseboat in a spot for up to 30 days. So really, is there a difference to other boaters? :unsure:
What say Y'all? How do you feel about this trend? :unsure::unsure:

I have mixed feelings. Certainly easier than digging in. Probably safer in the wind? I suppose you could pull up into the spot and not use the bags? But that would be repaying rudeness with rudeness. Is there a time limit between bag placement and use? And look for the WW thread Beach Bag mess. Is this the last year of a three year trial?

I see some plastic crap sitting on the beach that shouldn’t be there.
Hopefully TrashTrackers come by soon and pick them up for the dumpster.
 
True story:

yesterday had lunch with a non boater friend (yes this occasionally happens). he knows I love our lake, asked if I was going soon.

I mentioned 'beach bags' being a problem this Memorial Day.

Having no clue about our terminology, He actually thought I was referring to 'old bags'......literally old women....on Lake Powell beaches...... 🤣 🤣

Three things became quite clear:

Context is so very important in all human interaction

Tide does remove the coffee stains from your shirt...(y)

The universe has a great sense of humor.....and provides said detergent....:cool:

Wishing you all a fun safe holiday as we honor our fallen heroes.....🇺🇸
