Lesson learned? Keep a clear head. At dusk leave 10 mins before you
think you should. Don't be a wading hero in unfamiliar water.

Good lesson. I've been in similar situations and believe that the best thing
to do when you feel "nerves" coming on is just to sit down on a rock and
rest for a few minutes. I keep some granola bars and a brik-pak or two of
juice drinks in my vest, and they come in handy in those situations.
