Good morning! My husband and I have been to Lake Powell several times, both on house boats and ski boat/camping, staying north of Dangling Rope. This year, we'd like to take an adventure from Bullfrog all the way to Wahweap on a ski boat, camping along the way and seeing sites to the south of Dangling Rope that I have never seen. Gas is, or course, my biggest concern, but we have a 2007 Four Winns, 34-gallon, 19.5 ft, 190 HP boat. I'm confident we can make it to DR, but we will have to be aware of how much tooling around we do between the marinas. Our plan is to launch from Bullfrog in the early morning, heading directly to DR, then we will spend the night relatively close to DR, refueling before we continue. Then on to Wahweap for night 2, but we'd like to take our time getting there. Back on toward DR for night 3, returning to Bullfrog on day 4. Is this time frame doable, or should we consider adding another day to the trip. I know we will need to refuel every chance we get, but other than ice, I don't want to have to purchase too much food. We will have 2 med-large coolers with food and drink on the boat. I typically freeze any food and drinks that I can before packing coolers. I purchased the Standard Horizon HX870 Handheld VHF Radio that includes GPS in case of an emergency. We are hoping to have minimal gear that includes a small tent, small shade tent, gas grill, minimal fishing gear, etc. Any advice from those who have done this trek before?
