Skaha Lake is the lake situated between Penticton and Okanagan Falls, it is smaller and warmer than Okanagan Lake. I went boating on this beautiful lake with some friends a few weeks ago and it was quite the adventure! We went to the bluffs, which I had never been to, so I was encouraged to feel alive and take the opportunity to perform a graceful swan dive from the bluffs. On this crowded Sunday, with very brave teenagers sprawled all along the bluffs, I followed a friend to the edge of the rocks and was terribly petrified.
First I must say that there are different levels to jump from. You must boat in and swim to the rock face and then proceed to climb…rock climb this mountain face. It is sharp and steep. I managed to get to the first jump spot after squeezing through about 12 teenagers, a few buy best propecia online children with parents and some feisty eight year olds! I looked down and jumping sure looked better than tumbling down the steep scary cliff I just climbed (and barely made it up). Realizing that I didn’t have much opportunity to undo my decision, I had to face my fear of plunging into Skaha Lake. After my friend jumped, I looked out at the boat of our friends a 100 meters away, took the leap of faith went to plug my nose and realized I still needed to take another breath before hitting the water and breathing would definitely be a good option before I splashed. It wasn’t the most glamorous arm swirling nose plugging jump known to the bluffs but at least now I can blog about it!!!
What a wonderful way to spend a day in the Okanagan.
