Anybody still boating?

So it looks like we’re in for the long haul here on staying away from others but is anyone hitting lakes or rivers in their areas? I’m in Huntington Beach, ca and my boat is stored in needles. IAlso, I’m halfway thru putting in upgrades and mods. I would love to be somewhere isolated along the Colorado River. I just don’t want to get stuck out there if we go into shelter in place. Who is still active out there on fresh water spots?
I’m in Santa Cruz CA just waiting for the weather to warm up a little bit. Just finish installing my Thrust Vector Wake. I know My County and Monterey are subject to only necessary travel. If you ask me hitting the lake is absolutely necessary!

The boat is stuck on the trailer until I get the boat lift repaired. Fortunately the hydraulic rams arrive via FedEx today, so unless the whole state of Texas gets locked down in the next week, it'll be in the low 90's, time to play! Just no sandbar.

Looks great in red! i have the same color and going to install it this weekend.
 
Looks like the water is down a good bit still on the second image or does it normally look like that there? I would have expected you guys to be at full pool like we are with all the rain we had this year. What lake is that?
Its lake allatoona. I was surprised that the lake was that low. It's almost at winter pool levels. That second picture is usually a sand bar in summer.

The COE must of had that dam wide open to get the water so low. Just 2 weeks ago it was proboly 20 feet over full summer pool.

My boat comes up from Tampa to Richmond tomorrow. I plan on boating if the weather allows. Just don't touch anything at the ramp. :)

I like Black tower,I was thinking about powder coating mine either gray or black like the 19 and 20 models
 
Fl keys are closed, so no! In NY running my business like I’m supposed to. It is challenging rite now.
 
We plan to boat in about a month. Still waiting on my storage unit to get finished we are leasing which should be ready mid-April. I have to install my extra ballast and then plan to hit the water ASAP for some self isolation fun. Pollen is in full effect here so it wouldn't be fun boating right now anyways. Everything is yellow.

Debating going out today but the pollen is crazy I guess that won’t be much fun.
 
Yea tons of pollen here too. Thankfully we had a little rain last night but I hate pollen.

Could be worse lol....

 
I'd like to be boating, but we were too busy before the virus hit. Now with the virus has come economic uncertainty with my job. I work in the hospitality industry. Along with all this that is going on we've had relentless rain. The good thing is the lakes are all full, but the bad thing is pollen is in full swing. It's cloudy and in the 40's today with a chance of rain tonight. Should be the last of the rain, at least for a few days and warming this week. Hopefully my job situation will straighten itself out soon and we can get back to a normal existence.
 
We went out today in the gulf. Maintained our distance from friends and still managed to have a great day. 8221C398-3E9A-41B5-B3F1-38E6A43E9E5F.jpeg
 
That's a sweet looking spot! Damn!!
Thanks! My friend showed me that spot and it's always pretty chill. Not crazy crowded.
 
Out at Marco Island this weekend enjoying the beautiful weather with friends and family! Had a fantastic time during these crazy days we’re living in. The water was amazing and there were so many boats out! Enjoy the pics!
