Planning
Leave Vancouver about eight or nine am to drive to Squamish. Hike the trail. Possibly paddle on air mattresses/inflatable airplane to the exact point. The lake is probably too cold for sustained swimming. Or it might be very refreshing!
The distance is about 1.3 km, which is child's play in a kayak, but challenging in a stupid inflatable rowboat which has a slow leak and is rated for up to 220 lbs (dangerously close to Wade's weight). However, when considering the combined effort of carrying the kayak plus using the kayak, vs. carrying the toy boat and using it, the boat seems to be the winner. We'll bring the boat, the inflatable airplane, a wetsuit and flippers for Robyn, and then decide in situ which to use.
