“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight”

Well no kayaking today but got the breaks replaced on the car for a little trip tomorrow. Freed up tomorrow’s job by mowing the lawn today and the weather forecast looks good for kayaking tomorrow.

I think this is a great idea and worth looking into.

Kayaking: May Long Weekend Indian Rock to Rattlesnake Island 2012

01-100_6148 03-100_6234 13-100_6245 06-100_6152 20-100_6165 18-100_6179 35-100_6192 44-100_6197

Kayaking trip to Rattlesnake Island, started off with a head wind from the North and continued all weekend.  We managed to make it as far as Buchan Bay and enjoyed the sunset then in the morning the wind picked up again, but to cross Squally Point with a strong head wind wasn’t wise so we aborted the plan to continue and turned back after the night at Buchan Bay. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable trip by all. Lots of great photos and video clips to squeese into this video but was unable to get them all in. Check my LIVE BLOG post for more.

Back from kayaking

All is well!

Due to the weather being un co-operative we packed it in in the morning and sailed/paddled back. Squally Point would have been too ruff to cross with the continuous North headwind. Stay tuned for pics later will have to attempt a trip again soon. ~Guy

Buchan Bay kayaking break

Media_cardblackberrypictures-_

After a hard paddle into a North wind we are taking a break. Buchan Bay is close to Squally Point. May have to spend the night here then paddle to Rattlesnake Island N49 44.882 W119 43.030 in the morning. Kathy has just gotten her fishing rod out and Robin and I are relaxing. The sun is shining bright and starting to warm up. Some white caps on the lake. Had a couple from England walk over to say “Hi”. Nice couple. ~Guy

The weather has been great for the past few days here highs at 25c to 30c, Forecast looks good for the May Long Weekend for our kayaking trip to Rattlesnake Island. So far the three of us are heading out for the paddle (Kathy McA, Robin Dunham and myself) still waiting to see if there are any others to join us.

Hope you enjoy the Sunset.
