WOW! |
12 more hours at work and then its officially vacation time! Bring your A game this weekend |
The bbbevent.com site shows that only one boat ramp (Mansfield Dam) open for the BBB weekend, There is another at Jones Brothers park in Jonestown that will remain open for several more weeks. Lake Travis is at 645' and may drop to 643' by The 15th. That puts the lake 38 feet below the rim. The boat cove at Hippie Hollow is 145' deep just 200 yards from shore, so bring at least 100 feet of anchor rope and the more the better. We will have our inflatable island anchored behind the barges flying the jolly Roger so drop in and say hi....SNG |

G and I were at hippie hollow yesterday afternoon and the water is fantastic! The water will drop another three feet and the area for boaters and barges is MUCH larger than last year. if you are even thinking about BBB book a room now. The Hilton is nearly full but there are plenty of rooms in downtown Austin. |
Here is a good podcast review of the BBB from a first time perspective.http://www.lifestylelife.net/9/episode-2-butts-boobs-boats-oh-my/And this one tells the behind the scenes story.http://www.lifestylelife.net/294/ep-15-bbb-vi-interview/Hope this can help some of you who don't really know about this party.

lake update: lake Travis is matching up perfectly with the 2009 season. The water level is 33.4 feet below pool level at 647.2 And the water is 82 degrees. Visibility was five to ten feet. Only two public ramps are available, the most popular is a four lane ramp at Mansfield dam park. The second is Jones brothers park. Both ramps will remain open for the BBB but Mansfield will only have two lanes open. I will have pics from the boat area of the park on Friday. If you are on a barge, you will have no problems at all, if you plan to drive to the park, you may want to pack light and wear good shoes since it will be a bit of a hike down to the water. Besides you haven't lived until you've been hiking with a thousand nakid hotties! |
Here is the link. Another advantage would be the "Twin Queen" option for those wishing to save additional money.....you know "It's the economy"! I will just throw this option as well Chaos Party busses The lake to downtown Austin is a 45 minute drive and not exactly the safest road when your tired and dehydrated. I haven't requested a quote but this thing can move a lot of people and keep the party moving. SNG | I was doing some hotel shopping and the Mariott extended stay is next door to the Convention center Hilton, 10 bucks cheaper and has plenty of availability.
UPDATES: BOAT PARKING UPDATE: We are working with two different parking lot locations near the Hilton to park our boats. If you are staying at the Hilton or just need a place to park please email nautirave@yahoo.com with boat size and what days you will be needing to leave your boat at the lots.

SNG | Since this years afterparty has been moved to Downtown Austin there should not be any issues with people finding hotels, finding other couples from the lake will be a bit more trouble though. The hotels will be nicer and the party a bit looser. This year is shaping up to be one of the best!
www.BBBevent.com Be sure to check out their website for all the information as the host hotel is selling out quickly. Friday and Saturday night events are different that recent years as BBB is bringing the party to 6th street in Austin.
