Summer 2014!! It is gonna be a HOT Summer!!

Well all my paperwork is submitted and accepted for a summer job on Lake Powell...I am excited about spending the summer in the hot desert on a beautiful Lake, always been one of my favorite spots and have wanted to spend more time there, so it looks like I am scheduled to be there about May 15th and leave around the end of September!

I decided a change of scenery was in order for this year...My favorite State to explore is Utah and Montana, so I applied for positions in both of those locations and this opportunity was the first to confirm, besides my bucket list needs some shortening as the years are passing by quickly...nearly 10 years in Alaska and I am aching for some warmer weather and looking at bikinis instead of old fisherman in rubber rain gear!! Plus I will have the opportunity to explore more of Southern Utah!

As with any seasonal job, I will have a number of responsibilities..primarily I will be working the rental houseboat docks and instructing people on their safe operation and moving the boats from the marina to their first location, then return to the marina by small boat or get picked up by other marina staff. I will also spend a fair amount of time on the premium boat which pretty much gets handled by the staff, I am sure I will find out more details when I get there, but I am looking forward to spending some time on this boat - see the video below!


Enjoy a quick look at the boat and some of the scenery I will be exploring! If you really want to enjoy the video hit the full screen squares in the lower right corner of he video screen the ESC to get back here!





I have not finalized my travel plans for leaving Southern California...I have confirmed here that I will be leaving the end of March and plan to explore and travel my way back to Salt Lake City for my annual USCG Doctors appointment then leave time for a leisurely trip from Salt Lake to the job at Lake Powell, there are some areas along the way I want to spend some time in and explore...

Stay tuned for final travel plans and further adventures!
