After Action Assessment

The following is strictly, well mostly, the opinion of the author; argument will be entertained, probably to no noticeable effect.


Strictly by the Numbers:

Max Temperature: 106F

Inches of Rain: 2.5

Highest Gust: 55 mph

Boats Sunk: 3

Paddles Lost: 0(!)


Significant Injuries: Only one, that's too many

Near Death Experiences: Only one, more evidence there's no justification for the existence of Ski Boats

Fallen Overboard into Icy Water: Too Numerous to Count (related to #1, no doubt)



More Importantly:

Best Old Recipe: A Tie; Two Plate Ribs vs Dooms' BBQ Chicken

Best New Recipe: Two Plates' Steamed Corn

Best New Gadget: Battery Powered LED kitchen lights, even if they were shaped like flowers

Best New Story: Wild Man's Socks, a Remarkable Tale of Survivorship



And finally, this vacation was brought to you by Daddio and Jake who remained in uniform and on duty throughout (Katherine is in picture through no fault of her own, she conducted hygienic maneuvers regularly).

Thanks Y'all!
