Was the previous time when Willy found out about your girlfriend?

Glad to hear everyone is ok. Even happier that no hammocks were harmed in the process. Even happier yet that we can still poke fun at you because everyone is ok!

Neo,

The Taoists talk about the yin and yang of water. Perhaps one of the softest, most gentle elements on earth, yet it created the Grand Canyon. As one who has been caught in swollen rivers and streams I can testify to the power they have and the fear they can cause. I have ridden a capsized canoe through six foot standing waves in a flooded river. I also watched most of my gear float down the river. Fortunately, I was able to recover it.

The important thing was that you were able to make decisions that resulted in no injury or loss of life. Good job. Tuck the lessons away for your next trip. Mother Nature teaches us on occasion. Glad you are safe.
