Sunglasses were mandatory for this trip. The glare from endless fields of snow on the way out there was blinding. From the causeway, Glenmore looked frozen solid and covered in snow. The weaselhead was opening up so hopefully it will clear by May 1. I drove past Chestermere to pick up Simon on the way out. Chestermere is liquid but the water level looks low. The drive was about 2.5 hours, including the stop at Chestermere. Very good roads, except the last 1.5 km was muddy and slick.
If you look at the horizon in the pictures, you will see a white line- snow covered hills. The morning was chilly with a decent breeze. I was apprehensive. A new lake, cold weather, shifty winds. Even though this was my 14th day on the water in 2007, it felt like the first. RVYC has become a place that I am comfortable sailing and the prairie winds feel different.
