PHX July M&G

Kristie · June 30th, 2007, 21:53

In an effort to do something a little different for a july meet and greet...

i'd like to see if we have any phx peeps or outside phx peeps that know how to operate a ski boat and/or know how to set it up to waterski, wakeboard or tube?

I'm thinking of renting a sport boat for 1/2 a day on one of the fridays, saturdays or sundays in july as a bday present to myself... i know how to pilot the boat for the most part but i do not know anything about waterskiing or attaching an innertube or what not for add'l fun. the beer aboard would have to be minimal unless we have a designated boat driver for the ride back (no joke), and i'm thinking total picnic/swimming type of morning....yes, it'd have to be morning as it'd probably be just too hot in the afternoon.

other idea besides a sport boat is a pontoon boat because we can put more people on it...but it's certainly not "as" fast, that's for sure.

cost for rental of the sport boat is $375 for half day..we could put down the deposit and take on most of the cost but we may ask for help with providing beer/beverages and food to keep us from starving or dehydrating while out on the water.

anyone ever been on lake pleasant before?

Kristie · June 30th, 2007, 22:03

awww poo... i didn't do enough research and hit ALL the pages... you can't rent on weekends between april and september....that means it'd probably have to be either a friday or a monday or something during the week...that stinks!

Holy!

At that price, you could almost non-rev up here. I'd just let you use ours.

Sounds like fun! I'm familiar w/ boat operation (lots of experience at lake mead) including wakeboarding, tubing, etc and will volunteer to be designated boat driver if needed. I'm available Sundays and Mondays in July. If it goes into August it's a no go for me tho...I'll keep checking back on this thread for updates...

pedro · July 2nd, 2007, 00:17

Lake Pleasant is a fun lake. Only thing is that on the weekends the water can be really rough for any water skiing or wakeboarding. Tubing is pretty good on that lake. Its nearly impossible to rent on the weekends there. You might try Bartlett lake too. Its smaller but just as fun.

dvtpilot · July 9th, 2007, 00:00

Any updates on this one?

Kristie · July 9th, 2007, 00:06

most likely a no go cuz we can't get a boat and most people can't take like a friday off

So, by default it goes to the Native New Yorker in Queen Creek?!

Kristie · July 9th, 2007, 00:17

Queen Creek?! HA, i think not....let's try somewhere a little more centralized!

There's a native new yorker right off of Shea?! where else are they?

I wouldn't mind traveling to Tempe or Central phx either

Funny, I wasn't sure where Queen Creek was. I thought it might be close to Cave Creek, until I found it on the map!

Got two words for you there Cam,

You Buggin'!!!!!

Is that where you're at?

Haha... yup, that's where I'm at. It's a nice little drive to the north side, so I figured everyone would want to drive down here!

Toria · July 19th, 2007, 17:17

Has a firm date been set for this?

Kristie · July 22nd, 2007, 00:10

we're actually talking about getting together on the 30th or 31st.. I'll keep you posted

Kristie · July 22nd, 2007, 15:14

ok, whose up for meeting at desert ridge on the 30th? Might be Malee's this time around.

My Flight Surgeon · July 22nd, 2007, 16:29

Dana and I can do either the 30th or 31st. Looking forward to it.

amorris311 · July 22nd, 2007, 19:21

if you push it to the 4th i could be there.

N826AW · July 22nd, 2007, 20:12

I am supposed to have a checkride that week. As long as it isn't the 1st I'm there.

dvtpilot · July 24th, 2007, 02:22

I should be back in town by then.

pedro · July 24th, 2007, 10:40

I wish I could make it but I am out of town on monday and working at REI on tuesday night...sucks because last time I got there so late. oh well. maybe next time

CamYZ125 · July 24th, 2007, 12:37

Ehh, I'll probably spend another $12 in gas to have drinks with a bunch of crazy people... again...

amorris311 · July 24th, 2007, 12:46

ok if this is a def deal i think i can make it. just let me know.

I'm in LA. Darn!

Chris_Ford · July 24th, 2007, 16:15

Queen Creek is not centralized but Desert Ridge is!? Desert Ridge is easily a 40 mile drive from my house!

Nowhere in SDL or Tempe is sufficient? Even if you live in Glendale, Tempe is quite a bit easier to get to!

Kristie · July 24th, 2007, 18:30

August, plan tempe...but someone has to find us a place to go (that will also allow kids)... we just don't have enough time to plan for the 30th (it's next monday), i'm just gonna do with DR again...

so July 30th, 7pm, Malee's at Desert Ridge (restaurant).

somebody count up the bodies & make a reservation cuz i'm gonna be out of town till next sunday and will probably not get a chance to make reservations or finalize things...
