To celebrate our crew of friends getting older (Dan’s 30th and Erica’s “29th”), we spent the Labour Day long weekend partying on a houseboat crammed with 24 people. We had good food, lots of alcohol, swimming in the lake, a glow-stick dance party with a piñata, and bonfires on the beach. It was a party weekend, but our boat was pretty tame compared to the craziness we witnessed on other boats that docked on the beach each night.

Loading up the boat and sleeping in the cubbyhole.

When it was sunny out, there was lots of deck space to lounge.

Beaching the boat was tricky the first time, but we got the hang of it.

How not to land a boat (some drunken neighbours arrive).

The lake had the warmest water I’ve found in BC.

Good food and lots of booze.
