Had a few days at Havasu a year or so ago, it was 123 degrees. Myself, being a desert rat all my life didn't think it was horrible but wifie refused to leave the motor home...I guess it was pretty warm since I couldn't touch the snaps on the boat cover or touch the stainless grab handles.........Oh well, the beer was cold and it was nice in the early evening when it dropped to about 110! Rock On!

I'm out. I draw the line at 120. funny

I think the hottest we've boated was at Lake Mohave, around 110. Here is what we do when it is that hot. grin

Semper: I guess I have to draw the line at 120 or less from now on or I'll have to take somebody else's wife 'cause if my wife knows it's gonna be that hot, she ain't goin!
