House Boat Day #2: Swim, Mountain Sheep Canyon, Hearts
Ben got up early and went for an hour swim at 6:00 a.m. -- across the channel to the nearest rock outcroping.
After breakfast, Drew and Cort took the motor boat up to
Dangling Rope Marina
for a few supplies we needed,
and Grant, Mike, and Ben lathered on the sunscreen and zoomed -- reaching speeds of close to 50 mph --
back to the main channel and further upstream to mile 44 and into the
Mountain Sheep Canyon
to explore.
It was beautiful to slow down and motor through canyons that narrowed to barely the width of 3 WaveRunners --
the experience made you understand how people would call it "Nature's Cathedral".
Back at the house boat around 11:00 a.m., we had lunch and played a game of Hearts,
then people swam, rode WaveRunners, and did some water sledding with the motor boat.
