Embarrassed that there was ZERO cigar smoking, but it's still a pretty epic trip.

The houseboat and mine in the background.

Me and the pups watching the Blackhawks vs Ducks game 7.

The Little Man doing some carp hunting from the top deck....

Earlier in the evening....

Little success for Zac in the carp hunting....

Looks awesome bro!! I love Powell, water level doesn't look terrible. Great digs also! Looks like a very fun trip, minus the no cigars

I know Mike..... The Houseboat was a friends, I would have been the only one smoking, so would have felt obligated to go a bit away from the boat to do it. Just felt like it was going to be more work that I wanted to put in. I do wish I would have taken 4-5.

Obligatory shot of my boat....

Take a chair, sit on beach, smoke and whiskey! Damn bro!

One of the greatest vacations of my youth was renting a house boat on Lake Powell. Thanks for the pics. I need to plan another trip, soon.
