Default Ready to make the move

Got the boat all cleaned and maintained for her move to Lake Powell for the summer.


Can't wait for Friday... The last few months on the tiny lakes around town have been more of a PITA than they are worth.

One night at Wahweap dock, to just check everything out.
Ran power for charger and flushed the water system several times.
Then headed to our standby--Navajo.

Were you on C dock?

I had a mechanical so had to stay at Wahweap on Saturday night. Had 2 great nights up lake in Mountain Sheep and Last Chance.

I really can't wait for the CRC to open next month. Once you get a tour boat through Antelope Canyon it's a mess and no fun.

I could have sworn I saw a boat go by with a scuba flag last weekend.

Current temps is about 60*
Some location of the lake can be up to 350' deep.
Not sure how to rank the visibility... 25-30' ???

Just dropped her in last weekend. Was very foggy on Friday but Sunday was beautiful in NYC area. Took it to Sandy Hook NJ for dinner on an anchor. It felt great to be boating again. Looking forward to many trips this summer!
