    so......who is going for memorial?

    Yep, back to windy Friday afternoon/eve. Double anchor night. Not sure if this well protected spot in Middle Rock Creek is accessible at current water level but it's a good one. I rarely tie up bow in, but did in that spot.

    Mid 80s and wind gust forecast has calmed down. Going to be an epic weekend.

    We're headed back for Memorial also. Will flag you down if we see you. Don't know where we'll be until we find it. Beaches are mucky, wet and full of sticks with water down now. Not going to stop us.

    We have a couple solar lights that color change and found that red seemed to attract fewer bugs. Curious if you'll notice the same with your red cabin lights.

    Dock walk, let’s remind ourselves we are poor.

    We rolled though Antelope yesterday afternoon. That red Eliminator was there. Probably people watched us.

    Local Boater Program

    A Porta Potty of some sort is required. They used to check randomly at ramp and roll up on our beach camps to check when we all had small boats. That stopped when there'd be a cabin cruiser or house boat in the mix. We haven't been checked last 2 summers at all but go farther up and away from...

    Interesting. We had a 13yr hiatus from Powell and started back up 2yrs ago. Before our break they'd check for porta potties if overnighting and in early 2000's sound checks. I never got checked even with an 871 sticking through hatch surging through wakeless zone. Clamp on mufflers clearly...

    Congress looks to expand motorized access around Lake Powell

    20+yrs ago we drove the truck right to the water in back of Warm Creek. All closed to that now. Double edged sword. Hate that its closed but now that there's a SXS under every rock, you know how it would be.

    Ive not seen or heard of anyone getting inspected on way in. Only on way out. Sometimes there's a line of wake boats waiting at the dunk tank. Other times tank isn't open and people appear to be leaving with only the typical visual inspection. I've also never heard of anyone being hassled over...

    1 day approval this year. Feel like it took several days for response last couple seasons. 2 weeks 'till first soak. Unless wind is blowing 40mph.

    And it looks like we are on the rise for the 2025 water year...

    Snowpack is 68.8% of average for 4/20. Don't know what it was last year but was definitely more. Lake will basically be 10' lower as last 2 summers depending when you are there.

    Planning a Lake Powell Trip for 2026 – Looking for Advice

    Late August, September are best months. Cooling off but water is still warm. 4th of July gets pretty busy. Camp spots and bays you'll go to with the rental HB's will be crowded. Expect a storm at least 1 day of your stay July through early August. Part of the deal. Same as you probably had...

    I wish! So many good beaches are way up there from where we are now.

    Awesome work! I had a '90 311. 540"s and Bravos. Loved that boat. Spent most of its time I had it on Powell. The answer to your post about fuel consumption lies within you. My motors were both within a few Hp of each other at 630hp. I could run all weekend on 1 tank just cruising. Start...

    He's been out of the boat game for a bit now. Heavy into Skeet Shooting competitions now. Top contender at it.
