So, we just had a wonderful trip to Lake Powell.  The water is rising, fast about 30 vertical feet so far this spring.  Some of us are parking a bit too close to the edge as the water rises.  I can't help but wonder if this guy might have said something more than farfegnugen if the Park Service hadn't towed the cars on the edge away?  I know the car isn't a VW but it is German so....

Here's a picture or two of some of my favorite boaters!
Just back from Lake Powell.  Had a great time and mostly beautiful weather.  Saturday night was real windy but our anchors basically held and we stayed safe and no less sound than previously.

I can't help but wonder if this rising water would spell farfegnugen?  I know it's not VW but it is German!

So, Stef has her new camera, on land and under water.  Here are her efforts, or at least some of them.   Well don dear!




Stef and I got home last night from 8 days in Aruba.  We had a blast and got in 12 scuba dives. Two a day for 5 days and two night dives.   Our friends Dave and Roberta went with us.  It's nice to be home again.  We missed the kids and the activities at home but a few days on a beautiful island sure was nice too.  

We dove with Red Sail, Silvia, Norman, Evette, and Anim were our Dive Masters (each on different dives).  They took very good care of us and we had a blast!

Dave, who sinks like a rock, was able to his surprise, to successfully tread water toward his Dive Master rating. 

Here are some pictures.  I've got underwater video too so we'll see if the grandpa's technical abilities can be enhanced (later)!

I can't believe its been a month since I made an entry here. But, its been a bit more than that!

So much has happened, so quickly too. I raced my bicycle in the rain and in the sun shine. I froze my butt off in the rain and was sweeting in the sunshine. I'm not very fast, most of the racers beat me some by a huge

Just got back from two weekends in a row at Lake Powell.  We went down the first weekend to meet some friends from Colorado and had a nice time in the wind.  Then last weekend, we went down for Nick's Spring Break.  The weather was better and we had a great time relaxing up Navajo Canyon on a wonderful sandy beach.

Sorry we don't have more pictures but we mainly stayed in place and floated on our anchors. Which was one of the best long weekends in a long time!
