Snow on the lake. You can barely see the only portion not frozen on the lake. The strip down the middle. Getting hard to see where the mountains begin and the lake ends.

Have a great day in the snow everyone!

Check this out: Cam Crate: DSLR Life Proof Camera Case

2012-02-06T20:02:00.001-08:00

I don't advertise product on my blog but sometimes I do come across products useful or handy for the outdoors and especially kayaking. I received this email (below) today from Ian in Massachusetts and had a look at this product. Though I don't currently have a DSLR camera I do have some kayaking friends who do and might be interested. Here is the email below and if you are interested feel free to contact the link. Thanks for the info Ian, it looks like it would be great for kayaking. Thanks Ian for sharing the info with me. ~Guy

"Thought you may want to blog this week about this new DSLR camera case, it seems perfect for kayaking as it's waterproof, shockproof and floats: CamCrate details and video: http://kck.st/v44qjF It's on KickStarter.com so basically it's a preorder to help fund production and this guy's new company. It's down to the wire as the project just needs 35 more orders by this Friday at 5:55pm to make it happen. At $50 with free shipping looks like a great deal. note: I'm just a project "backer" hoping to make this real, I don't know the inventor.
Thanks, Ian in Massachusetts "

Well, I "thought" of kayaking today.. The water is a little hard today!

2012-01-21T10:38:00.001-08:00

Survived the "storm warning" warning said 10-20cm of snow over night.

Looking out at the lake after shovelling the snow from last night's downfall and the lake looked so calm. Thought to myself, the wind is only 2kmh, Looks like a little ice along the shore thought I could launch from the end of the dock. Then after the sun had risen I had another look and it hit me, the North end of Skaha Lake is frozen pretty much all way across the width (about 4 miles across) and from the North shore about 4 houses down to the South of us. So I am thinking I may need a icebreaker of sorts to get my yak on the lake. Forecast is for warmer weather starting this weekend so here's hoping.

Managed to get some shots for you all hope you enjoy them!

Have a great paddle day!

WARNINGS: Earthquake update and Freezing Rain forecast. Penticton

2012-01-19T15:40:00.001-08:00

Earthquake shakes South Okanagan

Pentiction Western News
Natural Resources Canada said there were no reports of damage and none would be expected from the earthquake that was lightly felt in Penticton and Okanagan Falls shortly after 11 pm on Tuesday. According to the government Natural Resources Canada ...

Winter Storm watch for: South Okanagan - including Penticton

(ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 2.27 PM PST THURSDAY 19 JANUARY 2012)

WATCH OUT Penticton! The Notice BELOW emailed to me from "The Weather Network". -GUY

ISSUED BY ENVIRONMENT CANADA AT 2.27 PM PST Thursday 19 January 2012

Summary
A change from bitterly cold to a milder but very moist pattern will bring significant snow and a risk of freezing rain for Friday and into Saturday. This is an alert to the potential development of dangerous winter weather conditions in these regions. Monitor weather conditions..Listen for updated statements.

Details
A slow transition from a cold Arctic airmass to a milder but moist Pacific airmass will take place over the BC interior on Friday and into Saturday as a major Pacific storm approaches the BC coast and slowly shifts inland. An initial impulse of moisture will move across the southern areas early Friday resulting in a band of snow producing up to 5 cm with locally higher amounts in the mountain passes. The main portion of the storm will arrive in the southwest interior Friday afternoon and spread north and eastwards into the central interior and southeastern BC Friday evening and into Saturday. This may produce areas of heavy snow with 20 to 30 cm for the southeastern areas and 10 to 15 cm for the southwestern regions. Mountain passes could see even more significant amounts. There is also the potential for pockets of freezing rain where the colder area remains trapped in some valley areas on Saturday. The public is advised to monitor future forecasts and warnings as warni ngs may be required or extended. The public should be prepared to alter plans or in some cases avoid travel according to weather and road conditions. The forecasts may change slightly as the storm develops and moves inland. Please follow the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at WWW.WEATHEROFFICE.GC.CA Road conditions can be monitored at WWW.DRIVEBC.CA.

City shores up waterfront plans

via pentictonwesternnews.com

I have mixed feelings on this. I hope they don't destroy the bird sanctuary and beach to the East of the Yacht Club or the Esplanade Trail to the South of the Tennis Courts. That section of beach is the only undeveloped beach left in Penticton where naturists and bird watchers have used for many years. I remember in the 1970's naturists using this section of the undeveloped beach. When they 1st released their intentions I tried to get in on the "public talks" regarding this I was not ever contacted by the group. I believe those opposed to the idea and had signed the petition were not contacted as my friends were not contacted either.

"Kayaks hung on the wall with care.. with hopes that winter would never be there..."

Well we finally may have some winter I think Matt ( http://www.shuswapkayaks.com/ ) LOL

Well had a snowfall all yesterday evening and night. Shovelled the driveways at work at 5am. Finished work at 7am came home with hopes to sleep and shovelled the driveway at home so I could park my car. Now with back pain, cold fingers, running nose and now that I am wide awake might as well relax blog some pics. We had only about 2 to 3" of wet heavy snow this morning. Out where Matt lives he must have about 5 feet by now. The wind here is about 6kmh and the temp is -7.8c according to my little weatherstation by the lake. The lake is only partially frozen near the shore and the snow is still coming down as I type. The mountain across the lake can barely be seen right now. The gray looking water at the horisen almost blends into the bottom of the mountain and as I look up it disapears rightaway into a cloud of snow/fog.

(hmm doesn't appear my spell checker is working.. may be some typo's, sorry)

Hope you all like the pics. and have a great winter's day everyone! =)

Young visitors to one of Penticton‘s beaches chat on their cellphones while soaking up the sun. Penticton was listed among the top 10 travel destinations for 2012 in an article that appeared on the Huffington Post website on Wednesday.

Penticton‘s mayor had one word to describe the city being named a top-10 world travel destination for 2012.
"Wow!" said Dan Ashton of an article that appeared on the Huffington Post website Wednesday. "I‘m just ecstatic Penticton is able to get this kind of recognition."
Penticton secured the No. 4 spot on a top-10 list of places in the world to visit. The list was compiled by UpTake.com, which came up with the rankings by analyzing travel buzz on Facebook from more than 200 million comments, status updates, photo descriptions and check-ins.

Ogopogo - Exploring The Unexplained - StumbleUpon

2011-12-08T13:34:00.001-08:00

Check out this website I found at stumbleupon.com

..The legend of Ogopogo starts with a Demon possessed Native Man named Kel-oni-won who murdered a well known and respected Elder named " Old Kan-he-kan " with a war club. As a punishment for his crime the Creator changed Kel-oni-won into a Lake Serpent, a Creature who would forever be imprisoned at the scene of his crime to suffer eternal remorse. He was left in the custody of a beautiful Lake Goddess. Kel-oni-won was from that day on known as N'ha-a-itk, the remorseful one who must live in the lake in the company of other animals. It is said that the only animal who could tolerate his company was the Rattlesnake. To honor the memory of " Old Kan-he-kan " his people named the Lake " Okanagan." N'ha-a-itk which translates to " Water Demon " or " Lake Monster " would demand a toll from travellers for a safe passage through the waters it called home...

What is the Ogopogo - by Dean Traylor - Helium

2011-12-07T06:40:00.001-08:00

The 1860 account is possibly the most dramatic. It would also center on a place often associated with the monster’s future sightings: Rattlesnake Island. The story has it that a man was helping to lead several swimming horses across the lake near the island. Suddenly, several horses were “pulled” underwater by a force he described as begin “unknown and “unseen.”

This account, on the other hand, wasn’t the one that started Ogopogo sighting craze. That honor goes to an incident in 1926 when more than 30 people claimed to have seen the creature near an Okanagan Mission beach.

"Cold & Windy" kayaking Skaha - November 16th 2011

2011-11-17T09:27:00.001-08:00

We went for a short paddle on Skaha today. The temp was just below freezing as the water on my gloves was beginning to freeze. The head wind was quite heavy at about 20kmh. for the first part of the paddle. We ended up turning around and heading North with the wind back towards our put-in location, then, where the East edge was fairly calm, we paddled to the Marina and back to the put-in.

It was just nice to get out for a paddle. Kathy hasn't done much cold weather kayaking so it was a great experience for her.

Skaha Lake (what's in the name)

2011-11-14T13:43:00.001-08:00

What's in the name Skaha Lake? Well here is Wikipidia to the rescue.

Skaha Lake

Skaha Lake, historically known as Dog Lake and originally Lac Du Chien, is a freshwaterlake located along the course of the Okanagan River in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada.^[1]^[2] It has a surface area of approximately 20 km², with a maximum depth of 55 metres. The lake is situated directly south of Okanagan Lake and forms the southern shoreline and boundary of the city of Penticton, British Columbia. The community of Okanagan Falls is located at its southern end, the community of Kaleden lies in the upland area to its west.

History and meaning of name

"Labelled "L. du Chien" (Dog Lake) on Anderson Map, 1867; labelled "Du Chien L." on Trutch maps, 1866 and 1871. Origin unknown. Later, Dog became the official name. Changed in 1930 to Skaha "to agree with the local name," states the Chief Geographer. However Okanagan Indians say "skaha" is not their word for dog, but is that of the Shuswaps, and that the local word for dog is chokowapee. (Parham, 40). Another spelling is kaekuwapa. The local meaning of skaha is "horse". (Albert Millar). That is also the meaning in the Nicola dialect. (W. G. Clapperton)."

"Paddle Drip Shield" Testing my new and improved

2011-11-07T16:01:00.001-08:00

[[posterous-content:pid___0]]Re-constructed my and improved "Paddle Drip Shield" yesterday. I prevously used a planter pot. Yesterday we picked up a red Crazy-Carpet and used 3M Super77 adhesive spray to some blue Closed-Cell backpacker's sleeping foam. This gave the Crazy-Carpet ridgidity that was needed (thanks to Kathy McA for the foam idea).

[[posterous-content:pid___1]]

Today I tested it out on the lake. Bit of snow, wind, some white-caps today made for a good test. This new design made for a pleasurable paddle on the lake, there was 99% less water in the kayak after testing. Will try to upload the paddle video from today.

Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.

I am thankful to be able to paddle and share my trips with you all and I enjoy all your comments here, on YouTube and all my other blog echos.

It has been a great year for kayaking. Bit of a slow start even though, Spring seemed to last a long time this season but we had Summer that lasted an extra month which was nice. I am looking forward to Automn paddling and some short Winter trips. Hope to get some more good shots for you all as we go into next year.

KAYAKING: Ellis Reservior #4 "The Driftwood Series" Sept30-2011

2011-09-30T21:07:00.001-07:00

See the full gallery on Posterous

"The Driftwood Series"

If you are planning a paddle on this lake/reservior I would say the best time to paddle it would be Spring or Summer before they begin draining the reservior. The water was quite shallow on the East side especially. Many sandbars showing and dead-fall all over. When the water is high there are islands that can be paddled around.

City Of Penticton worker we talked to there told us this reservior water-level is quite low and we might enjoy paddling Reservior #2 instead, as the water is still quite high there. I don't know where Reservior #2 is but may have to see if we can find a locate on it sometime. He also told us this Reservior (#4) is for the orchards in the area and #2 is for drinking water.

Sea Kayaking Safety Gear | Ocean Kayaking Safety | Kayaking.org Kayaking Blog

2011-09-16T12:27:00.001-07:00

When you go kayaking on the ocean it is very important to bring safety gear should something go wrong. Many kayakers leave-out one or two items that could be absolutely critical if they get in a jam. This can happen especially in the case of experienced kayakers that assume, “it will never happen to me.”

I feel it’s a lot like riding a bike. You don’t necessarily wear a helmet because you think you will crash. You wear a helmet because other people could hit you or you could go over an unexpected bump. The same is true with kayaking, when you’re on the ocean you never know what could happen, so you want to be prepared for everything.

Some of the critical safety gear to bring sea kayaking are things like: a tow line, pump, whistle, spare paddle, and of course water – never forget fresh water! Below is a great short video highlighting some of the essential sea kayaking safety gear, enjoy!

Nudity and the Canadian law (remote beach nudity)

2011-09-10T15:23:00.001-07:00

Many Canadians are concerned when it comes to people nude on remote/secluded beaches. In Canada we have many secluded or remote beaches and eventually you will see someone naked on the shore its just a matter of time. Occasionally we may stumble across a naturist enjoying the sun.

Here is an excerp of the law with a link below to further study for yourself.

Green Lake is an interesting little saltwater lake. Many turtles swimming in the lake and tanning on the rocks along the edges. Didn't see any fish in the water, don't believe there are any in this lake.

We paddled the shoreline all around the edge stopping for lunch on the other side. The white muddy shore gives the impression of a sandy beach. Swimming in the lake was refreshing but I could taste the salt as it splashed on my lips, a taste that took a long time to get rid of. The water was clean and clear.

Had a good morning paddle with Robin this morning. Turned out to be a warm day of 33c. Robin headed back after lunch break at the south end of Three Mile Beach, I continued after lunch to see whats happening at the North end. After taking in some much needed sunshine I paddled beach to Penticton and met Kathy 1/2 way back . we enjoyed a supper on the beach and paddled back in the evening.

Have to squeeze as much time in, Summer will end soon but hope to do some kayaking thru Fall and Winter again.

Monopod for my Camera on my Kayak

2011-08-26T15:04:00.001-07:00

Was having problems shooting over my gear so had to get creative on how to get my camera up high enough to get the tip of my kayak and my subject in the photo without getting all my gear. So this is what I came up with.

The Monopod for my camera is mounted using Broomstick Hangers. The rubber type.

Using PVC pipe cut in lengths about 1 inch long and then split to snap over the pipe like a collar are used as a slide once snapped into the broomstick holder it allows monopod to adjust from side to side for adjustments to aim the camera where I want it aimed.

The monopod will extend 5 feet tall if needed. Using the broomstick hangers it allows for quick removal and is a "snap" to put back on the seat.

So now with the camera raised to a good height this is the result of my work. More subject and less gear.

as opposed to the photo below.

The Monopod was about $24.00 at Staples and the Broomstick hanger pack of two was about $7.00 at Zellars. The broomstick holder on the bottom is screwed into the hollow seat. The top is at this time on velcro because I am waiting for a lake of glass to find level, but until such time I will adjust with the velcro mount to set the horizon.

Happy kayaking!
