Hey -- for all you frozen in C-Brats up in the far north of OR/WA, how about a little daydreaming? The temperatures at Lake Mojave are rising into the '70s and there's a Gathering planned for the weekend of Feb 19-22. It's a long way to trailer -- but they rent houseboats on the lake. A group of you fly down to Vegas, share the rental of a car and a houseboat and come bask in the sunshine! You guys tie off in a neat cove, and we'll flock around you -- we even promise you rides on our boats. Laughlin and the buffets (shows) are close by, or there's always the bright lights of Vegas coming and leaving Lake Mojave.
I know -- you need time off from work and a rich uncle -- but, it's fun to dream, isn't it -- and sometimes, if you dream, they come true.
If that timing doesn't work, how about a gang of you coming down to the Lake Powell Gathering in April and doing the same thing -- if you don't have time or desire to trailer your boats that far, gang-rent a houseboat, roll on a keg, tie in a cove and watch the C-Dorys hustle to raft off with you. Imagine it ... a week on the most beautiful lake in the SW .. with the most beautiful boats flocking around. Dream on ... _________________ El and Bill (former live-aboards)

We are VERY interested in the Lake Powell thingee, and in splitting a houseboat rental, maybe four ways. We would travel on the weekend (4/24 & 25, or just the 25th if we flew), and stay the week from the 26th through the 30th). Here are the rates for the 46 footer at Wahweap (have not checked availability):
DateRange Qty Days Amount Added Tax Total
01/01/2004 - 04/30/2004 1 3 995.00 67.16 1062.16
01/01/2004 - 04/30/2004 1 4 1147.00 77.42 1224.42
01/01/2004 - 04/30/2004 1 5 1517.00 102.40 1619.40
01/01/2004 - 04/30/2004 1 7 1686.00 113.81 1799.81
So splitting a five day rental three or four ways and flying down looks a WHOLE lot better than four days of towing the Daydream down and back...of course we are assuming that there will be some resident or closer C-Dory folk with which we could hitch a ride for the exploration of the lake...(sorry about not being able to make the table line up correctly - a cut and paste from lakepowell.com) _________________
