2004 July 4th - Lake Powell trip.

Finally, I have memory in the camera and can take a picture of Dan's new boat. What a color, it really stands out on the lake.
There goes Dan and the houseboat. The houseboat was a 54' boat.
Oh ya, Kate made these awesome shade screens for use on the pontoon. They strap to the frame for the bimini top and down to the rails on the pontoon. At first I was concerned about the gap at the top between the bimini top and screen, but found that gap great in congested waters. I could just stand up to navigate (like I normally do in congested waters) and have a clear view of what was going on.
There's the houseboat. There's a built in shade cover/bimini on the roof of the houseboat, but we've supplemented it with an EZ-UP canopy.
We take a lunch break on Day 1 in Padre Bay before continuing further up the lake. That's Shawn, Dan, Tony, Z and Mike.
Here's Tony in front of the pontoon boat. We had the 54' Houseboat, an 18' rental Boston Whaler, Dan's Reinell and two jet skis.
That's me.
Here's a better shot of the shade screens Kate made for me. I picked up the shade screen material at home depot, along with some grommets for it. Kate cut it to size and sewed the edges to keep it from unravelling. I have another for the back of the boat, but didn't use it on this trip.
Docter Innards!
Dan's boat "Short Bus".
As always on Lake Powell, a map isn't too far away. It's a huge lake and easy to get lost on if you're not paying attention. Getting lost can use up alot of fuel and it's a long way between marina's. From Wahweap Marina to Dangling Rope Marina it's close to 42 mile. I pulled into Dangling rope in the pontoon on fumes (filled pontoon with 29.4 gallons of gas plus oil into the 30 gallon tank).
Lunch being prepared on the first day.
Autumn and I on the back of the Pontoon.
