The Excitment

The last night at Lake Powell we had a wind storm hit us. It wouldn't of been so bad except that we parked in a big open area for the night. We got some big waves crashing into our boats. The house boat can handle it better then the little boat. This little Jet Ski boat is a good little boat that your not afraid to give it a scratch but it just doesn't handle waves very well when its not moving.
 

This picture is my dad trying to ride out the waves in his boat. it was cute to see him try to save his boat. You can see the water splashing in the boat. It looked like he was riding a mechanical bull.
 

This is the boat when the strom was finishing up. Luckly it couldn't go much lower then that because it was in a shallow place. To bad we didn't have much of a beach to beach it on.... We did get all the water out but we did lose the key.

Ouch. I think your photo's say it all. Bill says, "That's the last time I let them borrow my boat." Don't tell you dad. JK
