Hemenway Boat Launch - Lake Mead Historic Low Water
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Hemenway Boat Launch - Lake Mead Historic Low Water levels have only one boat launch left on the entire Lake Mead. Big boats now have to use cranes that cost thousands of dollars to launch into the Lake. Historic Low levels since 1937 have occurred. Also, check out the NASA Photos from this week of how much Lake Mead has drained away.

Why would anyone want to pay that much to float a boat that size in a lake that is disappearing? I’m not trying to be judgmental, just trying to understand……
Farmers kept planting wheat during the dust bowl. Ever hopeful the drought would end this year.
Just shows there's no shortage of "Gilligan" boat owners ! Unbelievable !!!
Eventual insurance claim is all I can figure
That lake is still huge.
The video left before the boat was completely lowered. The guy next to it was only in water up to waist. That boats draft has to be more than a few feet. And people with boats with really shallow drafts and experienced are getting hung up on shelves on the lake. What was the owner even thinking since the lake is going down. I expected the opposite... more people pulling their boats out.. not in. Too much money and not enough sense I guess.
The boat towards the end with a crane. What a fool.
Why would you leave your boat there ? I would of pulled mine out months ago .
That guy will be paying more money. When he has to pull the boat out. When the lake totally drys up. Don't understand putting a boat. IN A LAKE THAT IS DRYING UP. 🤪
Based upon the documentation you've been providing, Russ, my uneducated eye tells me that the situation is rapidly deteriorating. My bet is that Hoover Dam will be out of the power generating business very soon.
They say another 60 days or less
Boulder city has one of the largest solar power plants in the nation, that's probably why they are letting the Hoover Dam go they don't need it for power anymore.
@@trewten5579 Lol
@@trewten5579 oh yeah sure, cause that is the one thing that modern societies have so much they can just shut down a major plant ...power.
@@trewten5579 Modern nighttime solar...Yep dusk till dawn no lights in Vegas...Works for me
Hi Russ,,, Mark and Brenda here... Guess what ? We are finally getting out of Henderson... Leaving in 3 days.. Sold home... Forever gone from the Dead Pool Lake Mead ! Going up north where there is water... Can't live in the desert without water... Great Video Russ !
Very sad 😔 to see 👀 😢 the lake like this, and it seems like a big waste of money 💰 to launch a boat into that lake right now 😕. Hard to see how anyone can really afford to do this and make the money legally 😆. Thanks for the update, Russ
SOME PEOPLE HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY, THAT BOAT COST AT LEAST OVER 1 MILLION DOLLARS
It sure is crazy to be putting a boat IN the lake under these conditions, more like it's time to do the last ever HAUL OUT! As tough as the boat insurers are these days, I am surprised that all the companies are not telling boat owners that they should be pulling out the boat if they want coverage to continue. That will probably soon be coming.
That just seems ridiculous-so much money and it’s going to have to come out the same way. I’d have long ago pulled my boat and relocated.
people don't realize that lake mead and lake powell should not exist. that whole area was (and actually is) a desert. the dams have exhausted the river. the land is just returning to its true state of being.
Thank you for some true perspective. It IS a desert,
Lake Mead dropped almost two inches in the past two days. Accelerating. Due to drought, much much less coming down from Glenn Canyon Dam at Lake Powell, Colorado River downstream uses, and the V shape of the lake. Very sad. Very surprised at the huge boat being able to actually crane to launch. Soon that will be how the remaining big boats get taken out of the water, I bet.
And instead of putting more concrete and infrastructure,’they should be closing and evacuating it.
If I had a boat docked at that marina that isn't "permanent" I'd be done there within a week to evacuate it
@@ms.construed1305 what scientists havn't revealed to the public is tetonic plates are pushing upwards cause a buckling in the earth's crust and strangling that area causing a blockage that's why the waters going down but they don't want to start a panic but that's what's happening the inner core of the earth is heating up especially with the influx of solar flares hitting us on a daily basis think of it as a microwave oven heating from the inside I watch dtechs videos too
@@ms.construed1305 may be very possible. No rain falling north of Mead . Also no rain north of Powell. So if Pow dosen't let water out no water can get to Mead . Rain over Mead for runoff won't help much . The rain Mead needs to raise water levels must be farther north of Powell.
No way. It’s in a desert and it always was. There’s too many cities (here talking to you Vegas) drawing off of it. I’m on Colorado and I can tell you the Colorado river is running just fine. But it’s a finite resource
I doubt this will ever recover. Just imagine how many people are tapped into this compared to when they originally filled it in the 30s. Humanity can survive without a lot of things, water is not one of them!
Back in 1968 we had a 42' Hatteras on Lake Mead, and docked there at Hemingway Marina. Many great memories for quite a few years. It breaks my heart to see how low Mead is. Your video was one of the best I've seen there, especially the crane lift of that yacht. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan
what they need for large boats is to unhook a trailer from the vehicle (couldn't easily with that one though) and have the trailer on a winch anchored to the ground and just winch the trailer as far as you need down in to the lake for the boat to float.
Agree 100 %
Just a food from the tow ball to the trailer is fine.
I have done the same in the winter with ice on the ramp.
Forget Lake Mead, I've been at my lowest level since 1963
Oh that's right on forget Lake Mead I have been at a lower level than you since 1975 LOL.
I've got pictures of us jumping off that water intake from 1982! It was about 40 feet to the water - now, almost 150 feet to the ROCKS!
Surreal to see people still launching boats during a time that should be used to pack up and move to a safer state, before the chaos starts. The reservoir is vanishing quicker each day, yet all of the locals documenting this talk about it like it’s going to impact some poor unfortunate individuals except themselves. 😳
I've been around boats and lakes for a large part of my life. There is no way my boat would still be sitting at that marina, it would have been pulled out of there weeks ago.
Man has to learn not to mess with Mother Nature……golf courses In the dessert, green lush lawns in towns, building towns and communities in arid places, ……The dessert is a dry, dry place. Respect Mother Nature
Wow.. some people have more money than sense. I wouldn't launch my bass boat there! Look for a claim on his insurance when it's sitting on the dry shore and can't be taken out! 😎
Time to close Lake Mead to the public. shut down electric plant and let it refill. Only generate electric in the heat of summer. Begin to use wind generation to generate power the rest of the year.
With all the pain we feel from an extended drought in the southwest, how can our government leaders in Washington approve the spending of $400 billion for bombs and not one cent for a diversion of the Mississippi River which would bring water to the southwest where our farmers are failing and all of our city dwellers Will find empty shelves in the grocery store.? $400 billion would build 400 desalination plants.
Mississippi drainage basin is largely in drought. Year two for Missouri river basin. Those of us in the Midwest depend on these for our drinking water, irrigation through recharging of the aquifers, and also to move commodities. We don't always have enough for our own use. The southwest water basin was never meant to hold 40 million people and irrigate arid land. Desalination depends on power, and you'll run out of electricity before you run out of water, and then there is the remaining sludge...
BTW, if you haven't bought property east of the Rockies yet, you may want to. Our properties rarely stay on the market long and are frequently bought by Californian organized cash buyers.
ALL THE MISSISSIPPI WATER IS POLLUTED WITH FERTILIZER AND PESTICIDES, AND CANT BE USED, UNLESS YOU HAD MASSIVE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS TO CLEAN THE WATER, ALSO, THE BARGE TRAFFIC WOULD BE AFFECTED, SO THE WATER COULD ONLY BE DRAWN DURING THE TIME WHEN THE MISSIPPI IS IN FLOOD STAGE, CHECK WHERE THE MISSIPPI GOES INTO THE OCEAN, IT IS A DEAD ZONE BECAUSE OF ALL THE P IN THE WATER
I think Captain Paul should write another check and move his boat to the Great Lakes area. Can't see the enjoyment in floating in a small pond. But then I haven't launched my 12' kayak this year yet. My fee is free. Yea.!! 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🚣♂️🙋♂️
One of the things I find funny is, 50 years from now people will be wondering why is there boats out in the middle of the desert
Before TOO long, I wouldn't be surprised if the crane guys get lots of calls to pull big boats and docks out of the lake before they are ponded and end up laying on their sides in the dust.
Thanks, Russ for the continuing coverage on Lake Mead. Truly historic and sad conditions.
I would be pulling my boat out , soon it will become part of the desert very sad, nice video Russ have a good day!!!
SOON,,, they will put WHEEL'S on the Desert Princes for Tours,, correct?
For that kind of money how long was that guy planning on being out on the lake?
We'll probably all be dead by this time but 1 day everyone's going to want to head to Florida--the Last Place on Earth that may still have water.
Or live near one of the Great Lakes!!
HEY, THAT IS NOW HAPPENING, OVER 900 PER DAY NOW MOVING INTO MY FLORIDA, HOUSE PRICES UP 50 PERCENT, MY HOUSE WENT UP 30 THOUSAND IN 6 MONTHS, BUT TO CROWDED NOW, LIKE CALIFORNIA IN ORLANDO, HIGHWAYS ALL OVER THE TOWN,
Hey , Hey, It's RVerTV Russ, YEA Thanks for another video on lake mead, Your To Cool For School My Friend. 👍
Why would anyone launch their boat there? What's worse is that there's people who don't get their boats out.
What fool is putting a big boat like that into Mead now?
Looks like someone is looking for a
Insurance payout once that boat hits rocks and sinks. Better hurry before the lake is gone.
At this point with it dropping like it is, you have to wonder if it's something intentional as well as drought. Or maybe there's a huge leak somewhere? It's crazy to me.
There was a massive rockslide in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado in August 2021 in the Grizzly Creek burn scar which caused I-70 to shut down for a couple weeks. This massive rockslide also caused the Colorado River to divert in 6 places. Not one authority, news station, and what not has mentioned this. The last thing mentioned on the rockslide was CDOT discussing ongoing infrastructure issues from the rockslide in February 2022, yet did not mention anything about restoring the river. Maybe because they know they can't at this point. I hope not
WELL, BLAME CLIMATE CHANGE, NO RAIN IN THE WHOLE SOUTHWEST FOR YEARS, SOON, CLIMATE MIGRATION WILL ACCUR FROM THE WHOLE SOUTHWEST UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY 200 A MONTH FOR WATER ( ALSO THE BIG PIPE THAT LAS VAGUS PUT UNDER LEAD MEAD IS NOT HELPING ONE BIT, THEY SPEND 1 BILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS BIG PIPE, JUST TO GET THE LAST DROP OF WATER) CHECK IT OUT, ITS ON UA-cam
Mother nature always wins. This is an example.
I have heard whispering of this possibly being on purpose. You know the Democrats are trying to push the Green New Deal, and climate change bs. If they would stop with this bs...manipulating the weather, etc., things would not be this bad!
The lowering lake is not intentional, the American desert Southwest is in the midst of one of its worst droughts in something like 2000 years. There hasn't been enough rain or snowfall in the past 20 years to keep the lake up to a viable level. At the rate of Mead is going down, in the next few years there won't be much of a lake left.
The first shallow spot @50 MPH and it will be expensive to fix if it doesn't sink
The crane literally dropped it in shallower water than a standard launch would have
who would want to go Boating there Now Way to Dangerous..
Water level is amazing enough. More amazing is the number of residences being built in Southern California. Construction of those homes alone requires massive amounts of water from grading through concrete structures and then the home owners. Not to include green spaces and swimming pools. Just a reminder that everything you see that is green and growing is not native and all plants and trees are imports. California use to be grassland and semi arid and semi desert with an average rainfall of 7 to 8 inches per year. Since Hoover Dam and the L.A. aqueduct both of the early part of the 1900's has created this Eureka of California. The drive for gold of 1849 is only superseded for the drive for water of this century. High water tables and and very shallow wells was the key element of the early 1900's until the 1980's. Water depletion and deeper wells along with the drought is truly a triple threat to the Southwest. Great video.
And to think, who still wants to live in California anyhow?
Thank you RVerTV for giving our shop a shout out during the Formula’s being craned into the lake.
Appreciate you making the time and informing everyone the way you do.

We are located in Boulder City
And we are a full service boat shop
Everything from family boats to go fast boats.
We subscribed to you, hope you wouldn’t mind following us back!
Stay safe on the road friend.
Everything we are seeing is on life support. The lake is going to be a river in 18 mo.+ -. You can't stop mother nature. The people who enjoyed it and lived off of it, should be glad for the time they had. The party is over. White water rafting companies should be working on new businesses. Tour companies should start working on tours of the topography that has been underwater for almost 100 years.
Some people have too much money. Looking forward to the day when it's paddle only.
As Russ said. They can still boat on right out of here. Question now is. Why don't they boat on right out of there ? (While they still can)
He's going to pay triple when he needs to use a crane again to lift it out of the dirt! Does he know something that we don't???? I don't think so!!
I’m just curious why you would launch that boat in Lake Mead that cost $10,000 when it’s going to dry up gonna cost you another 10,000 in just a few months to get it out
THE RICH HAS TO DO SOMETHING WITH ALL THEIR MONEY, LOOK AT TOM CRUISE, HE MADE 20 MILLION FOR HIS LAST TOP GUN MOVIE,
But In 1937 the water was rising Not Like Now Shrinking
I am confused.... Knowing the lake is drying up, no sign of relief, why would anyone launch a boat like that in the lake now?
because you have so much money you can afford to.
The Colorado river no longer runs into Lake Mead ...
I give it three weeks to four weeks
End of days Jesus is coming ...
NO, IT WILL BE A PROBLEM IN 2 YEARS, AND IT RUNS INTO LAKE POWELL WHICH RUNS INTO LAKE MEAD,
Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To my eye, the desert has never been beautiful. Add a few hundred miles of reservoir, it's still the desert. Hot, dry, brown. To those who like this sort of thing, I say, "Enjoy". For all of us, what has happened to Lake Mead is a tragedy. An unfolding catastrophe.
I could be wrong but the NASA picture of July 2022 looks to show the Colorado River cut off from Lake Mead. Far left side of the photo, correct? Am I wrong?
This might be the last big boat launched for the next ten years
Is it just me, or does anyone else think Russ sounds like a horse race commentator. (Is that the term?) He has that voice.
🤣
I'm actually surprised they aren't digging out channels at the shoreline so water can flow in and make the launch areas a little deeper. For example get an excavator and dig a big trench like 30 feet wide and 100 feel long in from the current shore line. Make the trench 10 feet deep. Now they have a better place to launch larger boats this way.
Lakes dying but it doesn't stop people from squeezing their boats in there. Less water equals more concentrated pollution also but hey, we don't care.🤣
It takes more than the loss of a lake to stop Americans from getting down to it and getting their boat in water. I’m impressed! But it’s terribly sad too. As the water drops, there will be less oxygen in it and the fish will die (I don’t see any aquatic vegetation)
I GUARANTEE GUARANTEE that huge yacht will be stuck out there OK they might have gotten it into that mudpit but I'm assuming they're going to spend a few weeks on that thing and when they decide to come back guess what You won't be able to so I hope that losing a quarter million dollar yacht was worth it dummies You shoud've went to Lake Tahoe instead
They are not only building new parking at the boat ramp. They will need a place to put all the derelict boats from that marina. When it gets to shallow to keep boats there anymore! From what I can see is that marina is going to be doomed very soon itself! Where are they going to move it next??? Do they have millions to spend on doing so?
God people move to a placé that has a lake or Ocean like Key West Fl there launching 80 boats a day. You can even go to the Bahamas from there.
I just read an article that California has one years worth of water left! We'll see what happens.
YES, 60 PERCENT OF ALL THE FOOD FOR AMERICA IS GROWN IN CA. LOOK FOR MUCH HIGHER PRICES IN THE FUTURE
I'd. Get my boat and. Go home. That's. Just. Plain insane to. Launch. The. Last days of.desperation. not the last days of. Summer.
Thought you couldn't launch anything over 24 feet?
just had the bottom cleaned and refinished . . . is Capt Paul going to help identify all the shallow points? provide more job security to the finishing company!
with that kind of money, why not take the boat where you can thoroughly enjoy it . . .
I'm going to get bottles and fill them with lake water. I'll sell them in 2 years when the lake is gone for $1000 each.
great and awesome to see your yacht uncle paul!!love from the philippines ❤️❤️
as I'm watching these fools LOL that's like using a rubber band It would've been funny if it would have snapped then the thing would destroy the pier and this clown better have full coverage on this thing cause he's gonna need it soon
This reminds me of the frog in the pot of water and raising the temperature till it's dead, didn't get out of the pot couldn't see the end. Someone needs to put a sign at the road saying it's ovvvvver
So someone is throwing a large boat into a lake that is drying up, sounds like someone is going to be claiming insurance in the near future...
I would think its time to remove all the non trailable boats out of the lake while there is still a chance. There is not much of a chance that lake is ever coming back.
This is so sad! I pray for healing rains from heaven!❤️🇺🇸🙏🚙
so much for " No Boats over 22 feet ". Guess the long time rule "it's who ya blow" > not who ya know
Until construction stops and las Vegas pond is drained. Water will keep drastically dropping.
A nice place to boondock camp in the Vegas area: Lovell Canyon.
Free, paved road, trees, shady campsites and cool 5000' high elevation.
Lovell Canyon off of hwy 160.
Shhhhh! Don't tell anyone!
And no, that spot on the right was never the marina.
Lake Mead was at full pool in 2000.
Thanks for the tips!
why would you put in a boat like that its gonna get stranded i would guess there gonna have to get all those boats out of there pretty soon before they are all stuck in the Mud... You can throw alot of money at something but still does not make for much brains
Casinos continue to get free water. Why would Casnos continu to waste water? Just cause it is free water? Seems so.
Launching with a crane seems like the most wasteful form of conspicuous consumption.
Great video, I think Capt Paul is missing as many marbles as the lake is missing water😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👌👌👌
it's top heavy that's why I'm saying he'll never get that out again the weight has to be 35 tons nope he's stuck out there in the middle of lake mud pit
well they're lucky cause the props could get damaged or hull hit a jagged rock or get on a sandbar and these boat owners should act cocky then
when are they taking these boats out? they waiting for them to be sitting on the sand? cause thats whats gonna happen.
they need to start removing the boats why leave them there? at least if they remove them before it dries up they can resell them
Las Vegas has a third inlet at dead pool depth the very bottom only cost a few billion
Ha Ha ! They changed the name from "Lake Mead" to "Lake Mud" ?? Are you serious ?? LOL ! I saw this exact species of fish resting on the weir of Hoover Dam in the 1980's. Water remains surprisingly clear though. My friend in Las Vegas told me they see 113 - 115 deg F these days in Summerlin ... HOT ! They need A/C simply to "survive". You will probably take Interstate-15 to drive to Utah but you should take US 95 north of Vegas and climb up Mount Charleston, the place to be in summer in the Las Vegas Valley. Was "Captain Paul" one of those Russian oligarchs ?
Splendid video as usual, Russ ! RICHARD
I think the authorities should make people take their boats off the water.
I’d be more worried about getting that boat out if it gets any lower!
putting a boat like this in lake mead has to be one of dumbest things ive seen yet
The lake is doomed. Gotta keep those golf courses green.
Omgosh, that was a good video. I can't imagine what that cost to get that boat in the water.At this rate there won't be any water in 5 years.
Nice report, Russ. They are gonna drain it dry.
I saw those water level markers a few days ago. It is so sad and alarming.
It's going to be called a pond soon Russ. OMG so sad.
You are a genius video producer and I'm now supporting your channel Very in depth You should be sending these to the Vegas news stations or getting air time on TV very very detailed That zoom pan out of the lake and the fact that marina is almost hitting that island is amazing Thanks for these videos
This keeps going like it is there will be lots of boats for sale.
I feel like we will shift like dinosaurs (God reset)
boats in the dessert... perhaps not the best idea 🙄 thanks
The new tunnel under the Lake draining it ?
NO, THEY ONLY USE 4 PERCENT OF THE WATER, VEGAS RECYCLES 90 PERCENT OF ALL IT'S WATER I N THE WHOLE TOWN
not saying Vegas is using the water but did the construction unground tunnel is it draining the lake ? Seem the water start dropping much faster as they where building it..
Thanks for the informative video. It’s shocking seeing how long the boat ramp has become. I was holding my breath as the huge in-board/out-board boat was being trailered. You’re right…only experts could achieve that feat in water so shallow.
Why would you want to put that big of a boat in there??
Is the water green from algae? Is that algae bad algae?
That's not even a quarter million dollar boat
Howdy Russ! Appreciate the videos!
Yeah boat launch wars sounds good lol 😂😂
