Besides just a wonderful time, the only other thing of note was how we were all amazed at Java Jack's minimalist car topping of his kayak. All he had was two blocks of foam, which the kayak sat on upside down. There were no straps. Instead, he rolled down the window and held onto the kayak with his hand. He said he didn't have very far to drive, but I (as well as the others) never saw anything like it. Then I remembered that Jack is a construction worker, and it didn't seem so strange after all.
