Lake information
Jun 16th, 2010 at 12:05pm
 
I've heard rumors that there are water taxi's on Lake Travis.  Is that true and if so, does anyone know the name of the place?

We have rented a houseboat from July 2nd - July 5th and plan to park it in DC the entire time.  We have a group of 8 or 10 girls that are coming out for the day only.  We'll have a wake boat to pick them up from the dock but I don't want to have to drive them back after a day of drinking. 

Thanks for the info.

Generally people just ask other boats cruising around if they will make a run for $30 to shore.

Yea but I hate to put a bunch of girls on a boat with someone I don't know and don't know how much they've been drinking all day.

I've never really ever seen anyone advertising on the side of their boats, but that's not to say someone enterprising out there doesn't have such a business.

I've had people offer me a lot of money to run to shore for beer, picking up girls, etc.

I understand your concerns though.

I hope a sober captain shouldn't be too hard to find!

Sure, it's Devil's Cove on 4th of July weekend.  Sober captains will be everywhere.   Cheesy

Last weekend was surprisingly calm, I don't know what happened...the ordinance couldn't have scared everyone off already.

Yeah no kidding, everyone showed up late and there wasn't all that many boats.
