In 3D, yellow is uplake, blue is downlake trip back.
The first part was waiting for the winds to reduce themselves from Gale force winds to something a little less dangerous. The lake is about 54 miles long, and the best place to launch off is at 25 mile state park as the roads and crowds end after that. The lake goes in a sort of S curve in a northwesterly direction, with winds generally coming down from the 20 or so glaciers in the mountains up lake. Lake Chelan has a maximum depth of 1,486 feet. The surface of the lake is 335 m above sea level, while the average width of the lake is one mile.
We camped at Grouse Mountain with a very curious deer. (click on images to enlarge)
