This article was just brought to my attention...

http://www.lvrj.com/news/canal-break-slows-colorado-river-flow-172752251.html

I plan on going regardless how low it is. Without sounding sappy, boating on the water is just a perk on these trips to me. I love just hanging out, shooting the shit, and tossing beers back with everyone.

I know a few of you live in the area and I know Gil is out there this weekend as well. I will try to get reports of water levels over the next few days. I really hope this doesn't discourage people from going.

Mine was stiff when working it back and forth on the trailer.
Once I got it on the water and under power, it was amazing!

This was in the Mohave daily news today.

Local river level drops

Published: Friday, October 5, 2012 1:26 AM MDT
BOULDER CITY, Nev. — Beginning today and continuing through the month, Colorado River water releases from Davis Dam north of Bullhead City will be uncharacteristically low due to reduced water demands downstream. The Bureau of Reclamation is also reducing releases from Hoover Dam, creating flow conditions that are lower than usual for this time of year.

The reduced water releases will result in lower than normal river water levels throughout the Laughlin/Bullhead City area. While Colorado River levels in the area normally fluctuate, this reduction from Davis Dam will result in peak flows dropping from about a four-unit flow or 19,000 cubic feet per second, to no higher than a two-unit flow, or 9,200 cfs. A one-unit change in flow is equivalent to approximately two feet in the river’s depth below Davis Dam.

Boaters below Hoover and Davis dams should exercise extra caution during this period of reduced river flows as sandbars, boulders and gravel will be exposed, creating more hazardous river conditions.

The temporary reduction in water releases is necessary because of a break in the Central Arizona Project canal near Bouse, Ariz., approximately 50 miles southeast of Lake Havasu City. While this part of the canal is out of service, Colorado River water deliveries are being temporarily halted. Daily and hourly information on releases from the Bureau of Reclamation’s Colorado River dams is available on Reclamation’s web site at www.usbr.gov/lc/riverops.html.

From what I have gathered talking to a few people and the response from a few on this thread....this event will still carry on. Rain or Shine.....or in this case: Water or no water.

Lets make the best of it.  :thumbup:

Too bad we don't have a trip on havasu. Its not too far from Windsor to the river and there is the big sandbar. Water levels are never an issue there.

Took the dog swimmin yesterday, could walk half way across the river. Wanted to take the boat out today but with a prop NO WAY. Its amasing even when water is shore to shore it can only be inches deep in places. I guess we'll see some of you fools next weekend ;)

I sent an email off to the Avi this morning asking for their permission to BBQ on the beach in the cove in front of the Avi.

I basically said due to the unfortunate circumstances with the water being possibly too low to launch, this would possibly be an incentive to those who are on the fence weather or not they are going to cancel their plans this weekend due to the low later levels.

In the past, the Avi security frowned upon us BBQing in the boat parking lot in the evening. I am asking them to give us a pass this time.

I'll keep you guys in the loop. If anyone else has any other ideas, I am all ears.  :thumbup:

Hey Brad, Hallett Dave had the same idea as Just Electric and was thinking launching at Moabi
with the reasoning of deeper water down there,then back to the Avi for evening entertainment aka party.  :thumbup:
The BBQ at the beach sounds awesome.  :beer:
I know we're in either way and so is Dave & Erica, I hope nobody cancels as they will miss a good time ! Gotta represent SCJB.  ;)

Brad, Dave wants you to give him a call at home, he's there today if you get a chance.
