Rafe on a Raft

In the morning, the river looked about three times as high and five times as mean as the day before.

First thing after what passed for breakfast (soggy granola), we had to put on our wet suits. Which were already wet from the storm.

Have you ever put on a wet wet suit? It’s kind of like trying to climb inside a tube of toothpaste. And then once you finally get it on, you try not to panic because it feels like there’s no way you’re ever getting that thing off again.

That’s usually right about the time you figure out that you should have gone to the bathroom first.
