No problem there dude (can I still say that after 40?). I was more concerned (or more precisely, interested) with the overall aspects of how these somewhat divergent paddlers were to work out a team approach to daily decision making, that's all. The incident reported and highlighted by myself wasn't a focus of concern, but simply an indicative occurrence that there are some team dynamics with respect to on-water decision making that appear to need to be ironed out -- if any of us can or should be bold enough to presume to even hint at questioning these fine paddlers. Perhaps Chris himself said it best: "We are all doing well and in hind sight have no doubt learned a great deal from the last three days."
