A nice waterfront development

This was one of the nicest developments located along the shoreline of Okanagan Lake on the north end of the lake near Ellison Provincial Park. It is a series of small houses (some are probably only one bedroon) scattered around the rock cliffs. It is not a resort but individually owned houses, though all built by the same builder and designer. It is a strata development I believe. I was informed starting prices are around $500,000. There is a small marina located with the property.

New equipment added

The Tacktick is a speed and depth instrument I added this year. One of the nice features is that it is wireless and solar powered - the black area across the top. It also gives me other information such as water temp, average speed, depth alarms, and wind info if I got the wind transducer. A good quality binocular is also a very handy item to have especially when going into an unfamiliar bay.

Cruising Okanagan Lake

I am including some pictures of my cruise to Okanagan Lake Provincial Park. The dingy in the photo was purchased last winter and the autopilot when I bought the boat. As a single-handed sailor, the autopilot is my best friend as it is invaluable when sailing or motoring.

While moored in Penticton, this Blue Heron was hanging around for a few days. This picture was taken with my new Sony Digital SLR camera.
