Ok, I know I'm asking a generic question but I'm trying to get my head around what it will be like to be a power-boater versus a sailor and need a little help. When we belonged to our sailing group, when we had a gathering... we would meet, spend a few hours sailing to a location, camp for the night... go out sailing for a good part of the day... return to camp, repeat as necessary. We never really "marina hopped" and many days we would hang out all day...
Is it the same for your gatherings? I'm having a hard time imagining spending hours just powering from one location to the next anchorage. How many hours do you usually motor/day? Do you go fishing as a routine? What's our gas budget going to be like?
I read up on the last Lake Powell trip but I don't know the lake so I couldn't really tell how far between anchorages. The pictures were inspirational... until I got to the mouse stories.... now I'm a little freaked out... maybe my cat will have to learn to like cruising.
Thanks!
