Thanks for all of the advice and tips, I really appreciate it.
The plan, I think, is to find a beach somewhere between Wahweap and Dangling Rope, ideally as close to midpoint as possible. Then we can use the Howard to go exploring up the lake, stopping at Dangling Rope each to top of the tanks.
When beaching for the night at basecamp, do people find it better to side-tie your boat to the houseboat or anchor it away, if enough space of course? I've seen pictures of both. However, I am not too keen on the idea the Howard side-tied to the houseboat even with the 8 fenders we have.
I'm going to spend some time programming my GPS with the desired waypoints so there is no fear of getting lost. Need to know where we are at all times.
This is the houseboat we will be on.
I had mentioned we should get together sometime in May to go over the menu and everything else.
We called and tried to get the pre-board but they said it is not available. The person on the phone said they only allow for the pre-boarding of one group per each houseboat model per trip. So, we booked a couple of rooms at the Lake Powell Resort for Friday night.
