We just returned from our one week voyage out of Bullfrog and can't say enough good things about it. We rented a decent houseboat from Lake Powell Marina (by this time of the year these boats suffer from lack of maintenance but we did expect that) and worked our way north to three different coves. The weather was near perfect and outside of some yahoos in Hansen Creek Canyon who partied until 4 a.m., we had wonderful nights.
But on Saturday the 22nd we were listening to maydays on channel 16 between another rental houseboat and the NPS - man overboard near Iceberg Canyon. The NPS was on it and the woman at the mic was doing a great job trying to keep everything together for the caller.
Sadly when we arrived back to the docks on Sunday we found out that indeed someone, somehow, went overboard and the body had yet to be found at the time. Law enforcement was interviewing all the passengers from that boat and the sadness was palpable. I've yet to see anything in the news about it but our hearts go out to that group as they lost a good friend.
