I really lough @ myself when I remember this:

in 95' I did Bowron Lake.

in one of the lakes it suddenly started to wind a little more than what i thought I could handle. so I stopped on the nearest bank & passed about 30 min talking to people there. I was paddling a "kyook" by "necky", it's plastic,yellow, 25" wide, 15' long, a bathtub.

after 30 min I realized the wind has no intensions to stop, so I continued on my way. the crossing was 0.5~1 mile long & I paddled it with strokes on the same side of the kayak the whole way. I didn't knew what skeg is. the paddling was weird, but to me it was just "kayaking", part of the fun...

after that crossing there wasn't any sign of any wind, the water where like a mirror.

enjoy your skeg.

enjoy Bowron Lake too.
