Well..it's February...must be time to think about Lake Powell in September! Let's set the rendezvous for Saturday, September 24th in Oak Canyon. I will launch on Friday the 23rd at Wahweap and head up lake from there.
Water levels look like they will be up again this year...and if it gets real high we may need to pick a different rendezvous spot. The beaches in Oak Canyon will disappear at high water levels. We'll see what it looks like as we get closer to September.

Kerri On will be there, Looking forward to it I'll be running from Reno after Air Races. What a great month September will be, George
 
Hi Chris, what publications would you recomend for Lake Powell? Is there a good way to get charts ordered on line or downloaded? Thanks George
 
Must have is the Stan Jones Map of Lake Powell...available online from a number of sources. Also...a good book to have...Boater's Guide to Lake Powell, by Michael Kelsey.
The Stan Jones map will get you where you need to go...but electronic charts are nice. These are usually in some form of fishing charts...the various purveyors call them different names. They all list the lakes covered...get one that includes Powell.

Oh goodness no it's not too early. I'm not home right now and I don't want to make the signup with my phone but I'll try to remember. If it doesn't show up soon enough just drop me a PM to help me remember.

Let's see. Lake Powell - kids to school - Lake - school. Oh, just a few more years.

Both Stan Jones, and the Kelsey book are de facto standards as Chris says. We use the Navionics "Hot Lakes" charts for the GPS systems.
 
If you all don't mind, I would like to join you next September 24 at Oak Canyon with my C-Dory Pohaku. It will be my first gathering.

On this cold and frosty morning, you guys are killing me with the thought of an "armada" from PNW headed to Powell.

If you don't mind the thought of a steroidally challenged CD type joining in the fun, can someone tell me about the route for trailering, stops etc etc. so we can start thinking about it.

Merv,

I think Pat Anderson has documented his favorite route to LP, complete with Wally World stops and trailer repair facilities :sad Maybe he'll chime in here with some info.

This could be a great wrap-up of Summer.
 
This is an Equal Opportunity Gathering. Any boat...all boats...and no boats are all welcome. We typically have all sizes of C-dorys, Rangers, Tomcats, Ventures, aluminum boats, houseboats, rental boats, inflatable boats, kayaks, and no boats.
Everyone is welcome.
 
Thanks Chris, we are still C-Brats at heart but we don't like to gate crash unless the organiser approves.

I just thought it would be nice if some of the PNW contingent decided to "buddy-up" for the road trip. Maybe we could even start a new trend in Wally-Mart rendezvous :shock:

Back to scraping barnacles...

George,

How Cool, CW McCall........

Think the Illinois National Guard will still be diggin out from the snow, and the chartreuse microbus will be down from 11 to 3, but it sure would be fun.

Good on ya

It is Willie's Tug 2s plan to go to Powell after the Bremerton Rendevouz. You guys had WAY too much fun last year.....what Wal-mart was that?
 
Bossa Nova will almost surely be there. Thanks Chris for keeping it going.

Interesting thought about the water level and possible lack of room at Oak Canyon. One option might be for more boats to anchor out and dinghy in to shore for visiting and cooking.

Let's call the park service and request the same ranger at Rainbow Bridge:-) He was fun.
