Spring Lake Powell

It was windy,windy windy!!!
This was our first trip to Powell this year and it was windy. These photos are in backwards order, this first one is our boat at the end of the week, it is NOT in the same place as where we started. The wind pushed us about 30 feet towards the main channel of Halls Creek.

This really doesn't give the wind justice,
sand drifts were forming around each little bush.
Sand blowing across our beach.
A hole where our anchor was...
Saving this anchor from the wind.
When we first beached the houseboat, Builder Mike put a stick in the water right at the edge. Our ramp was on the other side of the stick and rock days before. The water was rising about 4-6 inches a day while we were there.
This was day two, I didn't take a photo the first day the stick was placed.
The stick is in front of my beach chair.
Hole in the rock...simply amazing that the pioneers made it down with their horses and buggies. I was not meant to be a pioneer! This was one of our warm windless days.
Choppy due to WIND!

I love Lake Powell.
Next trip in July.
