Timeline
17:34
Rent a transparent rowing boat. The bottom lets you see the fish and water plants below while you row.
18:04
Row out toward the west. The sun sets toward the WSW in January, W in April and October, and WNW in July, so position yourself to catch the light reflecting off the water.
18:19
Watch the golden light hit the lake surface. If you brought a water gun, this is the time for a playful fight as the light fades.
18:49
Return to shore. The boating experience ends as the light fades.
