In mid-May there was wind every day, but on this mid-week day, the wind ranged from calm to gusty so I picked a smaller lake to paddle.

I paddled twice around Isobel Lake, once in each direction, a total of 5 km.

When I started there was no one else on the lake.   A few campers were set up at the east end of the lake and there was a school class at one of the docks doing pond studies.    Otherwise, it was quiet with only the sound of blackbirds, ducks, frogs, and the wind.

The lake becomes weedy in summer so spring is a good time to paddle there, before the crowds, and when all is quiet.   Some video clips follow:
