Lake Powell was fantastic. everything we expected and more. I will try to post a write up with pictures soon!

I just posted a test inReach message from Green River. We decided to stop for the night and launch tomorrow morning. Roads were all fine, though it was a long drive! :)

Just about to leave SLC and hope to get to Bullfrog tonight. I will turn the inReach on tomorrow.

I think that we have the national geographic map. Thanks!

We made it to Boise ID, tonight. I84 was good the whole way from the coast to Boise. Much less traffic and better weather than I5! Glad we did not try I90...

We decided to take I84 as the road conditions on I90 were not enticing. Rain is better than snow for driving!

Thanks! We will make sure to check out those . People can follow our progress via our inReach messenger on https://share.garmin.com/michaelhjackson I plan to have it up and running when we get going on Friday (or Saturday!)

Thanks we will check the road reports tomorrow and decide which way to go.

Thanks all. I will not worry overly for the short term and make sure I run the fuel through and then fill up with ethanol free when I get home. There are a couple of local gas stations in Victoria which sell "marked mid grade fuel" which I think is ethanol free and cheaper due to taxation rules.

I have 2 2012 Y50s on my CD22 and wondered if there were any issues with using ethanol-containing gas. If so, any suggestions on how to get good gas before launching at Bullfrog UT on Lake Powell.

Monica and I are heading to Lake Powell - planning to launch at Bullfrog next Friday or so and spending about a week cruising the lake. If anyone has suggestions on places not to miss, things to look out for, warning etc, that would be much appreciated! Mike

Heading off next week and should be launching Friday for at least a week of cruising!

Thanks Pat and Casey, I think the Navionics app on my phone and tablet will do the trick. I will use the Lowrance for depth sounding and other info.

My 4 year old Lowrance HDS8 does not have charting for Lake Powell (I think only Canada...) and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for charting that can be installed in the chartplotter. I have found a couple of apps for iOS, Android and Windows 10, but am wondering what I can easily...

I would be interested in the steps as I might end up doing it in my driveway... [ quote="Robert H. Wilkinson"] There is a way to pull boats off a trailer, building up cribbing under each corner of transom and a third fore and centered on keel. I have done it a number of times with smaller...

Peter, did you get it done professionally? I am curious to know what stages of painting etc were required as I am thinking of having the same done to Natural C-lection.

Thanks for that clear description. I will have to look at doing that for Natural C-lection. Maybe in the spring.

Richard, I'd be interested to hear how you did your bottom coat application. Did you do it yourself? How did you manage to get the boat off the trailer etc. I am seriously considering getting mine coated. It sounds like you had a good few years of use before needing a recoat...

I usually launch at the ramp by the public harbour/wharf on 4th street. I have parked my trailer there as well, though it costs a bit. Parking anywhere around Tofino in the summer can be a challenge.

Great report, Harvey. I love that area and would definitely go back again. I too am wondering about bottom paint. Have you been able to get all the growth off?
