Shifty weather

Today we woke up to some milder temperatures for this time of the year in the Okanagan Valley. I went for an early morning swim in Skaha Lake, a beautiful deep body of water. A 5min walk down from our homestay sure beats the driving time and logistics to get up to Lake Okanagan.
Do you not understand how pretty this place is???

Afterwards, I walked the 5minutes home to some awesome pre-made hotcakes, thanks to the awesome planning by the savvy team management. I then got a ride in the team car down to Keremeos, and rode my way back up Yellow/Twin Lakes. It was a tad chilly when the sun would hide, and gusty at times, and it gives me something to think about for Sunday, forecasted to be at 10C when we get out of the water.

The rest of the day included some grocery shopping, some good relaxing by Skaha Lake (before it got cloudy and sprinkled on us) and some more chilling with our great hosts. Mike and Su are super cool and we get along great, and that makes coming back to Penticton so nice. Donovan and their daughter, Anja, make each other laugh and have a ton of fun together.
Check it, Mike- This is how you play this thing... C'mon Anja, press the 'X'

Even though the Team Director is under the weather, the rest of the team is pulling together and making the best of it. See you tomorrow, T-32hrs. All systems are go...
