The combination, in particular, is what is so compelling. It puts me in mind
of the times I've cracked a beer at 8am (the second breakfast) while rigging
my boat in Grand Canyon heat, then running Class 7-10 rapids on the
Colorado. I wasn't always sure it improved my performance, but then I'm not
sure that it hurt. I suppose one flip in six trips isn't all that bad. Too
bad my Dad was in the boat at the time.
