Prepare yourself for a whole bunch of pictures of a lone rock.

We knew it was supposed to be windy, but when we got out to Lone Rock Beach, just a few miles outside of Page, on the banks of Lake Powell, we found ourselves in the midst of a Saharan style sandstorm.

Chasing tumbleweed. They wanted that piece for a bonfire. That stuff goes up like it was bathed in gasoline—kids love it.

I’d estimate the water at about 50 degrees. It was take-your-breath-away and shut-down-your-body cold. It was New Zealand summer water temperature cold. Both of these kids went for it, eventually. I couldn’t be left out.

Even knowing how cold it would be this time, they charged in again.

  1. I have been following your blog since the catamaran days and it has been such a pleasure to read all of the adventures you have had. I saw your pictures of Antelope Canyon, and my daughter, her friend and I drove out last Friday because of them!!! Thank you for sharing your lives, I always smile when I see a new post.

  2. Just met your mom Linda poolside in Vegas! Envious does not begin to describe how I feel about your freedom! Kudos and blessings for the life you have created!!!!

  3. Pat …. Waddya saying about our kiwi summers …. A water temp of 24 degrees is warm, 26 is just about too hot, y’all need a shower to cool off after swimming in that. Blue and wrinkly is a good healthy colour for swimmers to be.

    1. Hey, I went surfing in Invercargill without a wetsuit, so I know what I’m talking about. 🙂 Blue and wrinkly is an apt description.
