Darwian-ian as I may seem to some of you here <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />; i plan my trips based on my experience and knowledge from past adventures. If I deem a trip somewhat more hazardous than normal I generally go it alone so as not to endanger anyone tagging along. I always leave a float, flight, or trip plan with folks that know me well enough not to pee themselves if I'm a day or 2 overdue <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> I trust in my skills but you may think the boat looks like the one from Gilligan's island <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> and would rather not board, enough said <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
