After last night’s ABL (Alive Below Lava) party, today was one of calm waters with the largest being 3’s and 4’s.

We clocked 12 miles or so with two stops — one to hike to some pictographs (yes, I hiked!) and a sunny lunch stop.

Camp stop was a little before 4 this afternoon. Dinner is Sara and JimBob’s re-hydrated Carnitas (which we saved the last of the Sangria). My hard liquor stash died two days ago and I’m relying on the kindness of my fellow rafters.

MarkMark is no better. He still can’t keep anything down including liquids and there has been talk of putting out the emergency flag and getting him choppered out. He doesn’t have insurance so that’s an issue, but after being curled up in the fetal position for three days it might have to happen.

WhiteWater on the other hand is doing great — spending the sunny parts of the day in the “squishy” (the inflatable kayak). It is uplifting to see the contented look on his face as he plays in the water.
