Strong Winds Sunday..

We took our kayaks out to Oliver Lake with the intention of going down to Olin Lake which is about a mile.  After starting to cross the narrows to the other side it was pretty gusty so we followed the shore line.  We would have to cross an exposed point where we could see lots of whitecaps (25 mph winds) so we decided to push back into the wind and go down the Northern side.  We took it easy and followed the shore line back to our starting point and beyond.  By then SAM was getting tired so we retired back to the put in ramp and declared that another day we would make the trip. 

The water was exceptionally clear and the bottom was sandy and solid.  Maybe we will take the fishing poles with us too when we return.  This will be a good lake to practice rolls and other maneuvers as well.
