What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than to fire up the Yukon
and tour the largest local lake.
By the time I got out there (about 20 miles north of the city) the
wind had already picked up and there were whitecaps on 2.5' waves.
Didn't matter.. I went as fast as I could while keeping the boat under
control.
Once.. when the wind and waves were slowing me down, I jumped into the
wake of a larger fiberglass boat and planed along. Man... did the boat
ever get skittish... felt like i was zipping along on ice.
This lake sure did get deep out in the center.... *Lowrance was
reading well over 100 feet before it jumped to 257 and then well over
300... don't know if that depth was accurate or just a glitch... I'll
have to look up and see what the actual recordrd depths are.
I tried to do a quick calculation of how many Puny Ponytails would
have to be standing on each others shoulders to reach that depth and
it was mind boggling.
A good number of the trees had turned colour but it was more muted
than vibrant.
Beautiful day and a fun but somewhat rough ride for the late boating
season.

Just looked it up... max depth 45 meters.
