Anyone seen this yet?
In 95' we went on a houseboat trip to Powell. Big mistake! Choosing your crew is as important as choosing your beach. 3 out of 12 knew about boating and seamanship. The rest were useless complainers. Well, 5 days in the bitching about not having a sandy beach had hit its peak. The useless 9 had found their sandy beach. A full day waisted moving everything and they were happy. The 3 of us were exhausted and turned in early. That night a wind came ripping through that canyon like you wouldn't believe. Mooring lines broke, spikes bent, it was insane! Most of us had been sleeping up topside to enjoy the stars. 4 of the useless 9 stayed up topside to watch us 3 work to save everything. Next thing I see is 4 bodies flying through the air. A gust of wind picked them up in their sleeping bags and carried them 30' before hitting the water.
It was a long night, very little equipment damage and a lot of bruised egos.
That vacation ended 1 marriage and 5 friendships.
