Spring Is Here!

Hi! Well just a note to say we have tried out the new dry suits (Stohlquist) and they work great! Mary found this out by a capsize in 37 degree water on Lake Coeur D Alene Id. a few weeks ago. She stayed dry and warm! Which is what there for. We have Kayaked another lake called Benowah which is in Id. also. It is a lake that the St. Joe river dumps into about 70 miles South of Coeur D alene Id. Its a magical lake only 5 ft deep in most places as the silt pours out with the river. Lots od bird life. Ospreys, Great Blue herons ect. Actually the Great blue Herons have a rookery there and start breeding next month. If you are in this area its quite a site to see. 7 and 8 Great Blues together on logs which you hardly ever see! I will try to get pics up of it as soon as I figure that aspect of blogging out. Be well! Jim

Aren't drysuits great. They allow you to push the limits without so much fear of the consequences of the risk. I am surprised at how many kayakers there are in the interior of Washington. I live in Bellingham, which makes sense for the kayaking but there seems to be a lot in Tri-cities and in Spokane too. I found your blog through your comments on Wendy's and Derrick's blogs. Well spoken without taking sides in a dispute that doesn't yet make much sence. Hope you post more soon. I'll check back. Paddle on. http://kayaksuccor.wordpress.com/
