The forecast said 1-3mm of rain and no mention of thunder and lightning. We rented the boat from a group of very knowledgeable and organized young people who made sure we were very well equipped and prepared to rent the 17' ski boat for the full day. The boat was clean, ran well and had everything required by Transport Canada. We stopped in to grab something forgotten at our trailer at our NK'Mip campsite and got tips from a young man that a good place to fish was at the north end. We headed up there, set up and after a few minutes it started to rain. We thought hey it said showers and it's the desert so we'll sit through the 1-3mm. A couple minutes later there was lightning and immediate thunder so we did as we should and packed up immediately to head back to WakePilot (we rented from the place north of the bridge). The waves were huge right away and the rain was coming in buckets but my husband is experienced so we were not overly concerned but knew we needed our butts off the water asap. We were almost back when we see 2 young people on jet skis and wondered what the heck they were doing on the rough lake but it was 2 employees of WakePilot making sure we made it in. With all the chaos and noise I did not hear our phones ring as they called us frantically to make sure we were safe. We all piled back to the docks and those amazing staff helped empty our belongings out and promptly worked on giving us a very fair refund on our day cut short. I'm a mom of young adults so they are all kids to me but this a great, hardworking group of kids that are responsible and knowledgeable. Hoping to bring our own boat next year but we'd recommend these guys in a heartbeat.
