First let me wish you all a happy new year!

My year on the water started with a tour from Pfäffikon SZ to Rapperswil and back.

On the right you can see the map and distance of the tour. I started in Pfäffikon, paddled to the dam an crossed it halfway, until the small entrance to the left which leads to a little shortcut through Hurden (picture below). From Hurden I then followed the dam to Rapperswil and made my way upwind to the marina of Stampf. On the way back I crossed the dam on the Rapperswil side and followed the yellow buoys around the Lützelau island back to Pfäffikon.

If you want to do this tour make sure you take a PFD with you (you leave the 300m zone) and stay out of the yellow buoys (nature reserve).

Next step for me will be the Brückenrace in Eglisau next Saturday (dragonboat.ch)
