B log: Or as the Indians call it...Lake Powell

There are few things better than going to Lake Powell. You really can't beat just relaxing on the houseboat, playing in the sun, and getting some early morning skiing sessions. We usually go to Wahweap instead of Bullfrog, and that is just fine with me. Personally I think the scenery is better at the Wahweap end of the lake anyway. Our spot this year was in Gunsight Bay, near Cookie Jar, and it was a really good spot.

We got shade as early as 5:30 in the evening which was great. Interestingly enough, every evening between 4 and 6, a storm would come by with blustery wind and some rain. After the storm passed, everything cleared up, and it made the evening really cool and refreshing. It also made for some really nice nights sleeping out on top of the houseboat, and gazing up at the stars.

This is the scene I woke up to one of the mornings.

If you have never been to Lake Powell, I highly recommend going. You won't be disappointed. And, you will never want to step foot into another cold mountain lake again. The water temperature at Powell is usually high 70's to mid 80's.

I'm not the best wakeboarder by any means, but I enjoy wakeboarding. That is, when I'm not smacking my face really hard on the water, and getting the wind knocked out of me. It happens more that I'd like to admit. Well enough talking, and on to what you are really looking forward to, more pictures.

Here is Mel skiing it up. Notice Cookie Jar rock in the background.

This was Mel's first time at Powell, and we made sure we got the most of every minute of it. We went on the Molecule tube and i'm pretty sure she broke her thumb while trying to hold on. She's so tough though, she just kept on going.
