As lake monsters go, Ogopogo is thoroughly Canadian. It is said to be gentle rather than menacing, happy to cede the limelight to its publicity-conscious cousins and, according to those who’ve encountered it, unfailingly polite. Still, you never know. So on my quest to find Ogopogo in Lake Okanagan, I armed myself with every advantage the modern tourist industry could provide, from aerial surveillance to an escape system straight out of a James Bond movie. No need to travel to a misty, brooding Scottish loch for this monster.
