My very best wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Koenig, and a fast and complete recovery. I don't know the accident's details, so I can't say my following statement is proper or not, but somehow, the situation of suffering a car accident after a short and intensive paddling vacation made me remember a custom rule I promised myself to follow, but usually never do ... " take the last day for a free activity and resting recovery". We all live in a rush, with our time demanding jobs swallowing it all, so we barely manage to get the 2 or 3 free days required to assist to the event. But we never realize how exhausting these events use to be. Iīve found myself driving back home at Sunday night for 3 or 4 hours, after a hard paddling weekend. Ainīt it be better to remain resting in a hotel and make the trip back on Monday ? ... Are Monday's job activities so important to put our ( and other's ) lives in danger while driving tired ??? If you happen to wake up with a flu, you wouldnīt hesitate to take that Monday free .... Best regards ...
