Lake Powell Today

[D Mac]

3585 feet today.

Time to go again, gonna be a little less water in the cut this trip. Thinking we will have to go out of Antelope Point by the time our following trip comes.

We only used the cut one time this summer on a return trip. Going around again this weekend. I like the channel as part of the journey anyway.

How is the temp sleeping at night? Do you have AC?

So rad! That location is on our bucket list. Need more gas to make it there from Antelope!

No AC and no hatches over the berth in that Baja. Was definitely warm this weekend. Got in the water twice a night.

It's worth it. One of the few epic canyons up there with a couple small beaches. Water was just covering the weir that forces you to run through the famously pictured chicane. We'll go back again for sure. Bought that boat because it was available at the time and checked a few of my Powell necessity boxes after not owning one for 13yrs. I have a few complaints with the Baja but reality is we're seeing more lake than ever before with it. It gets a crazy 1.8-2mpg keeping at a 35mph cruise. We run around 200mi a weekend without worry.

For those without FB, the infamous Hole in the Rock in Rock Creek is no longer. The front part and/or bridge, if you will, fell into the water.

Yesterday. Just outside of Rock Creek. Missed our window of no rain in the morning. Waited and waited then rode whole way back to ramp in the rain only to have it stop just as we pulled out.

We are leaving for powell Wednesday evening!!! So excited.

 

[Boat 405]

Here we go!!!

Can you go up the lake to Oak Canyon or the San Juan arm with Dangling Rope closed? We used to love Oak Canyon, but we always ran to Dangling Rope every few days for ice, beer, ice cream and fuel. And we usually had to fuel up the houseboat for the trip back.

Oak canyon is about my end point if I plan accordingly. I carry 100 gallons of fuel and get about 1.25 mpg. But I can’t mess around much. Oak Canyon had lost all of the big sandy beaches when I was there last year, so no longer a destination for us.

Yep. Only a few decent spots in Oak at current water level and they have a houseboat already on them every time we roll through.

It must be tough without Dangling Rope, if you want to go up the lake.

Lake was a little busy for September but we had a great day on the water yesterday.

It would be hard but I think that I could put up with the volume of a crowd.

In the back of Cathedral Canyon yesterday, had anchors set in about 55’ of water. I have been seeing this Axopar a lot this summer. Absolutely dig this boat!

I think a couple of the big house boats use them as tenders with a captain. @Nanu/Nanu knows the guys…

he connected me with one of them last year.

This boat and crew even do charters.

Unfortunately i do not know the Captain for this axopar. I know the Captain who runs the axopar thats attached to Crystal Angel. I think theres 3 or 4 axopars running around Powell now.

I think most of them that have dedicated captains do the charters on the tenders in the downtime. Helps with boating costs if you're entertaining clients if you catch my drift.

Not very many boats out yet… surprised by how many open beaches, but maybe it’s filling up this week. View attachment 1376888 View attachment 1376889 View attachment 1376890 View attachment 1376891 View attachment 1376892 View attachment 1376893 View attachment 1376894 View attachment 1376895

Mid 80s all this past week
Gas is 3.59-3.89 in town
Windy in the afternoon but has been letting up
Walmart Rv invasion in full swing

Heading out n the water for a shake down run after a lot of service on both screws.

How do you get up the lake with out Dangling Rope? That used to be our 2nd day stop going up the towards Oak Canjon. For fuel, ice, and beer Great ice cream cones. Do they have a fuel barge somewhere?

It seems we were running out fuel and ice and beer.

Without DR, oak is about my limit… I can make a little bit of ice but not enough for coolers

The Axopar in pic is Bob with Up Lake Adventures. Does jetski fishing guides also. He's always on the water.
Check out the website for rates for a day on that Axopar.

I was a bit surprised (I shouldn't have been, cuz I know they say about a dozen now) at how many Axopars I saw on the lake over the last weekend.

He might have been very surprised at having us circle around him in the back of Cathedral Canyon (his guests had just gotten into a kayak to go deeper into the canyon), however it was only minutes later 4 DCB's were all up in that tight space with him too.
