And I thought it was bad the time you and I had to use the electric motor on my boat to get back to the marina. Good to hear you made it back safely, we would have been happy to tow you in, if you could have waited a few hours. Ha,ha.
In those two hours of fishing, did you catch anything? WH2

I've got a couple of questions about the map you posted a link to or for anyone else who can answer my question:
1. The Rock pile seems to be in about the right spot but shouldn't the Sweetwater marina be near the ideal beach spot? That would put Gus's point where Sweetwater marina is marked. For some reason, I always thought Ideal beach was south of Gus's point but I guess I was wrong according to this map.
2. Is the pumphouse south of First point?
Can anyone help me? I'm tring to make an update to this map in MS Paint, I'll post it after I'm finished. WH2

[red][size 3]Dang, tore up your ride and had to paddle? Any idea what happened? I feel for ya. I was going to complain about pulling the cover off the boat yesterday to let it breathe for a bit then forgot to pull it back over only to be reminded at six this morning to the sound of snow plows... what a mess. We all wish ya the best. Are you looking at something new, having someone else do the work, or tackling it yourself? I'd be interested in your progress as one of the clueless just lucky so far kind of folks. [/size][/red]

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]I'll see if I can get someone up at Bear Lake to comment on the accuracy of our map ([url "http://www.utahoutdoors.com/maps/bearlkmap.htm"]http://www.utahoutdoors.com/maps/bearlkmap.htm[/url]). We did it years ago, and I think we got pretty close, but there’s always the chance we made a mistake.[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Somewhere I have GPS coordinates for the Rock Pile. I’ll see if I can dig them out.[/font][/size]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]As I see that map, the map is accurate. I think you're a little mixed up, WH2. Sweetwater Marina is now the high and dry Spinnaker Marina where you thought you saw MH & IN launching from the sand. You drive right down the ramp at Spinnaker to launch from the beach. Gus' Point is Just north of the old Sweetwater Marina,(Now Spinnaker Marina) where the New Unnamed, never been used, high and dry marina is. I know it's perfectly clear now, right? HA![/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]I think you are thinking about the marina just off the Idea Beach Condos next to Blue Water Beach. What that is called, I don't have a clue anymore. I guess high and dry Ideal Beach Marina! Anyway, take my word for it, the map is right.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]The pumphouse is indeed, south of 1st point. You pass it just before you get to the high and dry ramp at 1st Point.[/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]NOS, I'm going to do a complete rebuild to the existing motor more than likely. That is 1/3 of the cost of a new motor and it should be as good as new. The outboard is a '98 so it's worth the effort and a lot less bucks than 8,000 - 9,000 for a new one.[/size][/font]

You are right BLM, the marina that is dry, that is right in front of the Rock pile is the one I thought was the Sweetwater marina. Unless they changed the name of it the condos behind the Rockpile were called Sweetwater but that was some years ago. Thanks for the info, I just wanted to get it right on the map.
Thanks DBW for posting the map, I'm still learning the lake and it's great to have a map now that I can refer too, when someone post a message about a certain area. WH2

Great map BLFG, thanks for posting it, it looks like you have all the good spots listed. Is that an underwater island in the middle of the lake on the south side? WH2
