Glad to hear that you're ok dweste!

Situations get complicated and a lot of folks would have let their pride or priorities push them back out on the water in an attempt to avoid embarrassment which would have only made things much worse for everyone. None of us want to make that call but I'm glad you did.

It's amazing how a very mundane illness can creep up on you when you're pushing yourself physically, dehydrated, etc. The same illness might barely rate an off day if you weren't pushing yourself.
