After a long day at work, its nice to relax and go for a paddle. Outriggers paddling by in the video.
From the East side of Skaha Lake paddled to the West side where the Weed Harvester was hard at work. Passed through a thin layer of ice while the outside temp was +7.5c and even warmer in the sunshine. Managed to get some good clips of the harvester as I passed by both ways.
This will make for some cleaner waters for paddling this season.

Had a great day paddling on Skaha Lake today. We paddled to Banburrygreen Campground and back to the N/E corner of the lake. Lots of sun today and yes.. the mosquitoes are out already.. must be spring only 23 days till "Official" Spring date but today was a great start even though it started to hail.

Today the temp was -3c with a 10 kmh Head Wind from the South while paddling on the lake with Robin Dunham. We paddled into the wind to the Dog Beach, about one hour from our put-in spot. The wind felt quite brisk against the face but we dressed accordingly for the cold weather paddling.
As we passed by the reeds in the water, there was Ice forming at the lake edge of the reeds that looked like little Christmas ornament bulbs.
Robin purchased a Spray Shirt for his kayak yesterday and Pogies for his paddle to keep himself warm. Robin says it made a huge difference he also said I looked like a kayak robber today, but.. you got to do what you got to do to stay warm.
The old Dog Beach was our "Turn-around point", about one hour South of our Put-In spot.
With the overcast sky and the wind it felt that much colder paddling today. In one of the shots may be hard for you to see but there are about 4 swans ahead of us, they were keeping an eye on us as we passed by. Back at our Put-In spot where the reeds are, managed to snap a few pics to show you.

"Short Paddle"
Lake water temp is still about +5c this morning air temp was +2c on the lake with a light wind from the South.
Robin and I moved his seat back a bit to accommodate his tall frame in his "Tsunami 145" a couple days ago, much improvement. Took it for a test paddle this morning. I am paddling Kathy's "Tomahawk" kayak.

Log: 12/12/2012 7:56:31 AM Had a skiff of snow this morning. Skaha Lake is calm Okanagan Lake should be similar. Getting ready to go paddle along the South East shoreline of Okanagan this morning.
Here are some shots of Skaha Lake.
