don't remember that the effort was
particularly eXhausting When we
did get in. however, we could dc
nothing for a few minutes but sit
and blow, so evidently there was
more exhaustion than we realized
while we were doing il.
The full realization of our close
call struck us now. Sopping wet
storm tossed, and still being beaten
by the rain as if with whips, we
shook all over in the nervous
reaction.
We squatted in the corners of
the boat, holding on for our lives,
our heads down before the fury of
the storm. We had the presence
of mind, though, TO see that our
weight was dispersed so that the
raft would ride as evenly as waves
and wind allowed. Thus we rode
out the gale, and survived our
closest brush with death to date.
