We left Gardena with 60 beers on ice Thursday afternoon and ran out of them on Sunday. That's not counting the beers and cocktails over breakfast, lunch or dinner + the 7 bottles of wine we consumed. We did spil 4 or 5 in the boat when the action got furious! http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

No, just rent a little boat and do some fishing. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I wouldn't fish from my boat. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

We did attempt to fish from mine and have since from Mohave and Havasu but renting a little 14'er and trolling is much easier...besides...I hate pulling a trailer from sea level to over 7,000 foot elevation.

I may concider doing some scuba diving from my boat at some point off the coast of Catalina. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

True, DCfive has a boat that is much better suited for that kind of stuff. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
