This, and the number of watches in the group brought protests from those easing into river time. Jim displayed his support for the Bulls and was rewarded the next day with a super-soaking delivered by Carol and Ursula. Refreshingly, the radios and many of the watches disappeared after the game was over. Eileen went fishing for catfish, and caught one. Holly felt that the highlight for the day was an approximation of river time settling in, and the concomitant fading of some of the daily trivia.
Life is good.
Today, I am in the paddle boat captained by Craig, the River King. It is a wetter approach to touring the Green, especially in the front position. At times I found my head breaking the waves before the raft did. Captain Craig was quite efficient in coordinating the paddling efforts and reading river obstacles. Captain Maria took over and she also did a fine job, followed by some captaining by Ursula.
