Had a great time, lots of hanging out, not alot to do, so we swam, did a couple dives off a low cliff (mostly cannonballs, but also a very weak front tuck), shot the breeze.  A good time was had by all.  lots of playing in the water and swimming alongside the boat.  The lack of trunks wasn&#8217;t so much a problem, but the lack of appropriate shoes did suck.

Fun times.  <\/p>\n<p>Later on in the evening, went to a board game night with fellow hiker\/rafters.  I played seafarers of catan for the first time.
