No. I was out there today! When schools out we will head out Sunday night till Tuesday. What cove do you hang out at? We usually go to swallow cove but are looking at different places to stay the night. I'm going to try to use the windless more this season so we looked at some coves in the narrows today.

I don't have a windless, wish I did. I also have a wife who gets very sea-sick. So when we overnight we stay either at sandy cove (beautiful beach, but lot's of ALL-NIGHT partiers, hard to get kids to sleep all night. Or mushroom reef, beautiful place, although truth is we have yet to overnight there and have really spent nights at Temple bar marina, awesome place, and days at the reef.

Out yesterday and went from Calville to dam, then back to Snady...no one there, then up through the narrows to virgin basin and back to sandy for lunch..first time using our magma...it was amazing....then back to Calville and home...all in all a great day, but the water temp is only 56 degrees, so no swimming...yet.

Sandy beach is nice......but have you gone past sandy (left of the narrows entrance) and head over to Hamlin cove? If you go past the no wake zone go to the right and there is a nice small beach for three boats. Also across Wishing Well in the narrows there is a nice canyon with a beach you might want to look into.

Note that all depends on the water level so proceed with caution but now should be fine. That is why we go to swallow it stays the same most of the season.

We have been to several spots in Hamblin bay, but haven't seen a 3 boat spot...I'll have to look again. Hamblin near the bathrooms is very rocky.
Now coyote cove across from wishing well looks very interesting on google maps...going to have to give that place a look!

We only went to swallow once to meetup with some friends. But the place we stopped was so rocky and steep we didn't want to overnight there. Also had a lot of bugs...so we left and went to sandy.

Can't wait for summer, I'll be back on the water in 2 weeks for some stripper fishing at the government wash.
