About 30 years ago, as I paddled out at the end of a particularly challenging trip for me (at the time) using "never again, never again, never again" as cadence for every stroke of the paddle for miles 'n miles before the take-out....... I haven't missed a year since but for those few hours, you couldn't have paid me enough to do the same thing again. LOL!

My never again cadence was mostly due to weather and lack of preparedness. I now take warmer clothes and better food in August then we did that May.

My never again(s) were serious "I'm never doing a trip HERE again" type thoughts. I understood how sorely out of my eliminate and unprepared I was. My toes were numb for a solid week of that trip. The food sucked, jeans sucked.... Our reaction, hunkering down, was a mistake I can see more clearly with history.

Only wussies bring stoves and knit hats!
