SKAHA LAKE: ShuswapKayaks & KAYAKokanagan Nov6th 2012

Skaha Lake

KAYAKokanagan Kayaking with ShuswapKayaks

Nov6th 2012

KAYAKokanagan Kayaking with ShuswapKayaks, Matt and his paddle companion "KCee" (pronounced KayCee). on Skaha Lake in Penticton. We started off with a beautiful calm lake, when we got to Banburrygreen (where we turned around) we were met with rain and some wind and a few little waves. Was an and enjoyable and interesting day of paddling. After our return to our launch area we were met with Kathy McA who had a hot crackling fire in the firepit and BBQ smokies with hot soup and coffee. What an awesome day! Hope you like the video. ~Guy

Kayaking: Skaha Lake InBetweenTheRains

See the full gallery on Posterous

Penticton in the South Okanagan Valley is a tough place to forecast weather at least from what I have seen thru about 45years of living here. The Lake Okanagan and Skaha must effect the weather quite a bit and also the mountains around the Okanagan Valley. The forecast will say "North wind all day today" and the wind will be from the South when it gets here or vice versa. From my time here I have noticed, 90% of the time we have a North wind in the morning till somewhere between 11:00am and 2:00pm then it stops and switches to a South wind for the afternoon. If the forcast says "Rain all day" we will usually get 5 to 15 minutes of rain here and not on the other end of town etc.. So here we are today with a forecast of Rain all day and thundershowers for the afternoon. As you can see from my photos from today we went for a paddle today dry and in the sunshine. This morning we had gray/black skies and rain and at about 9am it cleared up and the sun came out for a while so we went out on the lake for a paddle after I finished work for the day then we were treated to yet another sunset.
