2017-10-08-Lake-Powell-Houseboat: Lake Powell houseboat trip. Four of us launched for a week on Lake Powell, on houseboat WildWind II. Great food, beer by our own Brew-Meister Perry, and exploring upstream from Bullfrog Basin, where WildWind II is on the buoy. Much hiking and late night discussions ensued! We were to deliver the houseboat into the keeping of the maintenance folks, to be taken off the lake for the winter for insurance inspection and maintenance. Unfortunately, they were unable to accomplish that service, so we winterized it and left it on the buoy.
