Weekly sub runs at Lake Balboa

[Guest]

I plan to start weekly running a boat or two at Balboa Lake if anyone would care to join me.

Balboa lake is located in the LA Valley. It's a large city lake and has a designated RC, electric only boating area.

It can be a bit murky there as most public lakes are. But closer to shore you can see your boat a foot or so under pretty well last I checked.

Parking is close to the boating area.

I was running weekly at Hansen dam. Although a better lake over all it's just beyond that limit in terms of miles to drive for most if not all Sub drivers in the area. I was always the only sub driver out there. The rest is a hoard of targets, speed boats and sail boats.

When I went to Balboa at 10 pm on the last Thursday I was the only boat there. Had the place all to myself.

To take a look at the lake just type into google earth lake balboa.

Hi Steve,

I'd join you, buddy, but life's been getting in the way in recent months. Besides, my boat's in a refit at the moment. I'll get there eventually, though!

Best,

You know a few years

You know a few years ago I had a bunch of SC guys show up at Balboa on a Sat. Steve Vic. Dave M. Myself and a few others were all there. It was a hoot.

So if you guys are paying attention lets plan on a day that's good for everyone and try to do it once a month.

Last time I was there

Did a run a few weeks ago. Here's the pictures.









My wife running my Bristol Bay. You can see how close the parking is and this is an RC boat only area the city provides.

P.S. Be sre to click on the picture for a larger image. Then once loaded click on it again for the full sized image.

I'm finding that many of you don't know about this. That's why when they first load you see them big and then they get small to fit your screen.

Just a heads up.

I just went there today

I just went there today to run my new Neptune. Tried to sail the laser too but the wind was not enough. I'm new to the subs so I'd really like to hang out with some guys that are well-seasoned. I just sent you an email too Steve. Not sure what Engel to get.
