Gear Review: Kestrel 2500 Wind Meter- Editor H2ONotes [ 2/17/2010 - 06:16 ] #  I love weather. That’s why I was excited to finally get my hands on and
review the Kestrel 2500 Wind Meter.
The Kestrel 2500 is a small
waterproof weather station that fits in the palm of your hand. It’s
designed to accurately measure wind speed, air or water temperature,
wind chill, barometric pressure including pressure trend and altitude.
The unit is very simple to operate. To measure the wind speed, you just
point it into the wind and the built-in impeller will give you the speed
in several different scales including MPH, KPH, Knots, Feet per Minute,
and the Beaufort Wind Scale. It also measures the current, average and
maximum wind speed. more...

An icy hotspot for anglers- Editor H2ONotes [ 2/5/2010 - 06:12 ] # BROOKLYN -- With more than 200 snowmobiles and ORVs rumbling onto the ice of Wamplers Lake under an early-morning
full moon, it looked like somebody was making a movie called "Mad Max
Goes to the Antarctic." Among the riders were Chad Hamlin and Bob Richardson, local anglers who
found a hole loaded with big crappies and sunfish two weeks earlier.
Since then they had driven their ORVs past the spot each day without
fishing it to see if other fishermen had drilled holes there. more...

The Complications of Comfort- Editor H2ONotes [ 12/28/2009 - 17:47 ] # Last weekend I went camping in the rain. There were about thirty-five of us, nearly two-thirds of the original group who had scheduled a December campout just a few miles up the coast. We were ridiculously fortunate in our timing: it seemed that the rain politely inserted itself into convenient time slots in our schedule. We covered our camp-kitchen in tarps. We drove our cargo van right up to the campsite, bringing in a full-size tipi and a small wood-burning chiminea to heat it. more...

The Games Of Their Lives- Editor H2ONotes [ 12/11/2009 - 07:27 ] # THE WATER delivered her. Always had, from darn near birth. Marin Morrison would get into the pool, and everything would just make sense. She'd move her arms and legs, and she'd be off, cutting through the water like a speedboat. Marin's parents, Matt and Nancy, chose her name mostly because Matt was raised in Marin County, Calif. But the symbolism wasn't lost on others: Marin, from the Latin "of the sea." more...

Hunters hope for 'fowl' weather- Editor H2ONotes [ 10/8/2009 - 05:41 ] #  When the wind blows the rain sideways and leaden clouds scud across the chilly autumn sky, people who don't hunt waterfowl sometimes quip, "Lovely weather for ducks." They have no idea how true that is.
Saturday's duck season opener in the southern Lower Peninsula looks far too nice for most hunters' tastes, with the weatherman predicting mostly sunny skies, temperatures around 60 and light westerly winds. more...

Rough Water Swim lives up to its name- Editor H2ONotes [ 9/16/2009 - 22:53 ] #  True to its name the 79th annual La Jolla Rough Water Swim saw conditions that got in the way for some, but the rip currents and big waves weren't enough to stop the 2,038 who finished their races.
Lifeguard Jimmy Canale, who oversaw aquatic safety for the event, told veteran rough water swimmer Anne Cleveland, that there were about 60 rescues. He reported a strong 4- to 6-foot northwest groundswell with 7- to 8-foot faces at times. more

See changing seasons from a paddler's perspective- Editor H2ONotes [ 9/15/2009 - 06:30 ] #  GRAYLING -- As leaves turn from green to varying shades of orange, red, yellow and brown, Michiganders will jump in their cars to travel the best routes to view the colors.
But paddling along Michigan's rivers might be one of the coolest ways to see fall foliage.
More and more Michiganders are discovering paddle sports -- canoeing and kayaking -- on Michigan's many lakes, rivers and streams. Matt McCollum, manager of the Village Canoe Rental in Milford, said business had increased about 25% over the last two years. The sport's popularity is growing at a rate that surprises even seasoned hands. more...

How to swim the Great Lakes: Train hard, eat well, don't quit- Editor H2ONotes [ 9/15/2009 - 06:27 ] # 
Paula Stephanson's five amazing Great Lakes swims are fuelled by plain pasta, rewarded by Hawaiian pizza, and enabled by 20 years of swim training.
No exotic supplements, expensive protein shakes, or secret workouts -- just tons of mileage, a common-sense approach to nutrition, and a definite stubbornness.
"Try and tell me I can't do something and I'll try to prove you wrong," Stephanson laughs. "I don't take anything at all. If I'm getting sick, I'll try and drink a lot of orange juice to fight it, but that's about it."

Marty: 4 ways to do the North Shore- Editor H2ONotes [ 7/28/2009 - 16:29 ] # The North Shore of Lake Superior is one of those places that we hold as sacred in Minnesota. A place that is ancient, wild, accessible… and linear. Unlike the myriad sinewy paths one can choose in the Boundary Waters, there is one route along the North Shore – from Duluth to the Canadian border or vice versa. The time-honored Highway 61 car road trip up and back is now joined by no fewer than three parallel paths of self-propulsion that can fit most everyone’s favorite outdoor activities. more...
