My daughter's band had a gig in Las Vegas tonight, so we loaded up the "family truckster" last night and took off across the desert.
This morning I met with the manager of my Lake Las Vegas operation, talked boat maintenance, and I snapped a few shots of the tail-piece of one of my gondolas.
We operate in some extreme conditions out in Nevada:
winds can whip in at 30-40 MPH, and the temperature sometimes tops out at 120 degrees.
Imagine how much of the sun's energy a black boat absorbs out here.
Needless to say, this is not an optimum rowing environment either.
It takes the right kind of boat to handle such conditions.
