Emerald Cove Women Ride the Colorado River




Debbie gave seven of us women from the campground a ride on her beautiful pontoon boat Friday. 


The powerful boat was fast as we raced up to the Parker Dam area. Soon the twins, Pam and Fran, were fishing the visors out of the river as the breeze took the visors right off Rose and Janice. Or did the red one belong to Evelyn? Anyway, we women had to hold on to our hats.













We slowed down to sunbathe and enjoy floating on the water. Since we were hungry, we stopped at the Roadrunner for lunch. The food was so good and so plentiful that I didn’t need any dinner.

  







Later we rode through the waves to the other end of the navigable river to the Indian Dam past the casino. Now I have heard of walking on water but sitting on it is something different.  Evelyn admitted that she was sitting on a huge rock.

We noticed a stranded boat so Debbie turned to check on it.  The men asked that we give a ride to one of the men so he could fetch another boat and tow them in.  Debbie cheerfully gave him a ride to the dock of his campground.
  

   
 We had so much fun that we will miss each other’s company when we leave this campground after Easter.
