Early Morning Paddle

Minutes from our home the Hope River slough provides a suitable waterway for kayaking. 

It's convenient for an early morning excursion.

We were out there by 7:30 AM and even with a enjoyable hour and a half of paddling,

 --- we were back home in time for breakfast.

Beautiful BC

A day kayaking on Lightning Lakes.

Barely a ripple.

Pure bliss.

Nature's Sparkles

I received a wonderful Kaiser Baas X400 Action Camera for Christmas with the idea that it would be used to capture moments from our kayaking trips. In it's special case it's waterproof.

 Months later we're finally able to get out on the water to use it for the first time! I just let it run on until the memory card was depleted. I've trimmed one of the video segments to show you my favourite moments from today's trip to Hick's Lake, BC.

I marvelled at Mother Nature's spectacular light show upon the water. As I learn how the camera works and how to better edit the videos (sorry about the sloping horizon line!) I hope to have better snippets to offer.

Tranquility

A perfect day kayaking on Hick's Lake. Beautiful weather which was neither too hot nor too cold, mirror smooth lake reflecting the blue sky and gorgeous mountains, and best of all ---

--- the amazing quiet. Come along, I'll take you for a 25 second ride. Be sure to have your speakers on. You'll hear practically nothing, it's so peaceful!

I love these little day trips!

Hicks Lake

Another quick day trip. 

Hicks Lake BC

Less than an hour's drive from our house.

The weather was beautiful!

Kayaking on Harrison Lake

Living in paradise, as we do, it's easy to take a blissful mini-vacation any time the weather cooperates.

Now that my husband has retired we can take advantage of some of the beautiful lakes in our area and slip away for a quiet morning of peaceful kayaking -- mid week even, when the crowds are tied up with work and school.

Harrison Lake BC is only about a 30 minute drive from our home in Chilliwack.

The weather was perfect, neither too hot nor too cold, and barely a ripple on the water.

It was a perfect way to make the most of a beautiful day. 

I'd take a kayak over a motor boat any day.
