Back on solid ground after the beating we just took. We get both boats up on the trailers, packed up and head back to the lodge. It's later that evening as we sit around and talk about the days event's. We mark the area's on the map where we caught fish. We talk about and laugh about that wild ride back in.
Someone makes a comment about how bad it really was.
Someone also makes a comment about life-vests. It finally dawns on me. That not one of us had our life-vests on all day, not even during that wild ride we took. It gets quiet for what seems like minutes. Ever since that day.
