LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – This Saturday, Lake County resident Jack Shrive will kayak the length of Clear Lake to promote his vision of ecology and fitness – supporting the health of the lake and personal well being.

The 15-year-old will launch his paddle–ski kayak at Rodman Slough in Lakeport at 8 a.m.

His route will take him to the Buckingham Point and Braito's Marina, continuing down the narrows toward Clearlake Oaks and Rattlesnake Island.

After rounding the island, he will proceed to round Windflower Point, pass Konocti Harbor towards Monitor Island, and continue paddling towards Indian Island.

After rounding that island, he will complete the journey and beach the kayak at Highlands Park in the city of Clearlake.

The excursion is estimated to take six to eight hours.

Fellow kayakers and other nonmotorized boats are encouraged to come out and join the paddle at various points along the journey.

Jack's kayak is blue with the words “Vision” imprinted on both sides.

He will be flying the Earth flag from the stern of the boat to illustrate the meaning of this journey.
