Sauna kayaking
It was hot. Very hot. 96 degrees. 95% humidity. No wind. Despite
the heat, I averaged about half a knot faster than in previous
outings. I was able to get into a nice rhythm and maintain it the
entire way.
I still don't have a feel for how the wind effects things on the
lake. I would have guessed that the first half of the trip would have
been at a higher pace than the second half, yet the numbers don't show
that. There did not appear to be any wind or current at all. Do boat
all those little boat wakes make that much of a difference?
