Crossing Lake Winnie

5/23/2015

Dale Sanders crosses Lake Winnie in a perfect S.
It was still calm on Lake  Winnie when I was awakened by sunshine beaming through the clear sky. It was cold, but I slept comfortably. Our planned route for the voyage across the lake was to stay left, close to shore. However, a half hour into the paddle, the wind slowly increased and it was a different crossing.  After arriving at the dam a little over six hours later, we are tired, but safe. 

We portaged the boats to the nearby campground.  Shortly after setting up camp for the night, we were greeted by Jeff and Sandy Bromenschenkel, River Angel's from Lake Winnie Recreation Area.  They took us out to pizza and a great time was had by all.

Plans for Friday are to paddle 29 miles to our next stopping point, which happens to be Jeff & Sandy’s house.
