The Ultra Regatta is this week-end, I believe...
I need to check the flow numbers to see if it's on the Parker side or the Needles/flow-in side....could be both...

| Quote (GlassMan @ June 15 2006,8:24 am) | Thanks for the tip Shue. I'll be launching up river in Needles and if they've reduced the flow that's a good thing to know.
It must be a heart wrenching time for the family. I hope they resolve this fast.  |
The flow reports look the same for mid-day, so Needles should be fine....just alot lower overnight...

Yea, I hope they find him for the families closure as well...
Looks like the lake might be back up a few feet by the week-end. Lots of big boats launching on Saturday at Windsor. It's a real pisser when your trailer goes off the edge...
The dilemma for me is, "do I tell the kids"....?? We arrive Sunday afternoon.
The accident was at the top of the lake, and that's where we go alot to play & float. Best I can do, I figure, is tell them that we have to use Cat-Tail due to the low water, and NOT explain why.... 
They will totally out on me otherwise...

| Quote (Carrera Elite @ June 15 2006,3:44 pm) | | That sounds like a good plan. If you tell them, they may just be paranoid the rest of the trip...... |
Especially the youngest nephew....he still asks if there's SHARKS in the lake... somebody told him there was....
It's taken years to get him at ease with the water. He wouldn't jump off the side of the boat, just slip in off the stern and hold on to something. Now he's wake-boarding, so his fears are replaced with fun.
He will be out there, floating fine after a crash, waiting for the rope to come around, and start shouting "Hurry up Uncle, I feel something on my leg!!".....
I thnk I'm being played...
