"Skinny Dipping" Kayaking Skaha Lake Apr28th2013

NO "SKINNY DIPPING"

Kayaking on Skaha Lake April 28th 2013

 Enjoyed a relaxing paddle on Skaha Lake this afternoon. Nice to unwind from a busy weekly schedule.

Many people out on their beaches today just enjoying the sunny breaks through the somewhat overcast sky as we paddled by.

"Many people have asked about our paddles.."  

Our webbed paddles are by www.WebbedPaddles.com

 The creeks are beginning to swell with Spring Runoff, as they flow into Skaha Lake down here in the valley.

 The Red-Winged Blackbirds are out singing in the cat-tails along the dog beach, you can here them in the video.

Hope you enjoy our paddle trip today.

First February Kayaking - Skaha Lake Feb1st2012

Snapshots of the paddle

Well here are, the first of February 2013. Not much for snow and not much in the way of ice on Skaha Lake. Winter is almost over and we didn't get the deep freeze like we did last year. Starting February off with sunshine was awesome!




Paddling today with one of my old time paddle buddy's, Robin Dunham. We enjoyed a paddle in the sunshine along the East shoreline of Skaha Lake.

Swann FREESTYLE HD Camera Mounted on Tsunami Kayak LOG:01/31/2013

I wanted to wait till the temp. was above freezing before mounting the camera with hopes to have a good secure adhesion to the kayak. The 3M gray tape should hold well (details in video below). Today it was +4c out so I mounted the camera on the bow and the beacon mount on the stern. I will mount a solar light on the bow later. But the process has began. Looking forward to getting some good photos from the bow on the next paddle trip.

 

this is regarding my previous video:

Removing Mounting for Swann FREESTYLE Camera to reuse mount on another kayak

Removing one of my camera mounts on my Oldtown kayak to use on the Tsunami kayak. The mount is used for the Swann Freestyle Camera (Similar to the old GoPro cameras). The mount originally had gray 3M double-sided tape on the base. I found a roll of gray Scotch Brand 3M Exterior Double-sided Tape, the package reads "Super Strong" Water-Resistant. The tape I found at Staples for $5.00.

 

 

This video is the process of removing the mounting bracket, removing the old tape from the mount then refitting the mount with new tape for remounting on the Tsunami kayak.

 

After much research on the web majority of the info recommended using "Gray" 3M Double-Sided Exterior tape. The tape on the mount is gray in colour and had 3M on the protective tape, if I remember correctly while removing the backing to mount the camera the first time.

Hope the video helps someone out there doing the same or similar.
