Thanks, Sue!

I believe I was in the early stages of hypothermia. But I was not alone or without resources. If there had been need there was a lot of standing and downed tree wood on the small island, we had some food and tea, stove, etcetera. [And I was carrying an American Medical DR PSK with full, recently refreshed contents.]

We were not in the wilderness, so we refrained from doing things we would have jumped to in those circumstances. My route was just off the small island, which was down tide and downwind of me so I would have "washed up" on the island even without any help.

Still, I made mistakes and the experience was a wake-up call to even better preparedness.
