While waiting to get on our houseboat, we take shelter from the wind blown sand on the pontoon boat.

We got to stay on the houseboat the night before our rental started. Looks like Matt is getting ready for bed.

Mike gashed his thumb open on a burst beer can in the cooler. The houseboat hasn't even left the dock and we're doing first-aid.

I'm still amazed with the logistics of running the Dangling Rope marina in the middle of the lake. With no road access, everything comes and goes by water. Here's one of the supply barges bringing back a full trash container, an empty fuel barge and an empty semi-trailer.
