Weather luck changed today, windy and cloudy trip to Little Fishing Lake.

Weather luck changed today, windy and cloudy trip to Little Fishing Lake.

Last weekend we went to Little Fishing Lake, SK and it was lovely and calm. There is a nice boat launch with a fish cleaning station. Almost directly across the lake from the boat launch is a nice little beach we can play with the dogs off leash. Accessible by boat and quad.

Today, Fred finally got to try the sail. Duffy lost sight of me and decided to try swimming back to the truck! Got to the far end but decided not to stop. Duffy just swam over so we could all be together. I got to experience waves - much wetter good thing the water is still warm. Ended up wearing my Level 6 SUP jacket with the hood up to protect my ears - yes it was that windy.

Splashing through waves really showed the short coming of HOBIE's method for attaching the steering to the seat. The screw was constantly backing off resulting in wave broadsides. If the craft wasn't so stable it would be a problem. We're going to do a Red Green* thing but with bungie cable instead of duct tape.

*Do not ask who/what Red Green is.

  1. Looks like a lot of fun and I'm sure Red/Green will put you in the hall of fame for your adaptability.
