Question: Did you keep a daily journal? With the level of detail in this
report, either you have an amazingly fine memory, or you kept a written
record. I've never done the journaling thing, but have considered it
several times.

What I did was sit down back at the cabin each evening and jot down
notes from the day's adventures. Since I was there by myself, I didn't
have anyone else with which to talk over the day's events. Writing
about it was a great way to unwind, as well as help me see what I was
doing well on the water, help me plan for the next day, etc.

level of detail, but you should see the stuff I *didn't* include ;-)
