For the last couple of days, I have been waking up wet and going to sleep wet. It hasn't rained a drop but I have been sweating so much in this 95+ degree heat I am wet all the time. Even when relaxing in the shade I sweat. There is no escaping the heat. I drink three gallons of water a day and still my urine is yellow. Rowing today, I thought of the galley slaves back in ancient days. That experience must have been similar to mine. Only I am my own task master and I am very easy on myself. During the day when I am looking down at the water in my boat, I wonder how much is my sweat and how much is coming from the pinhole leek that mysteriously appeared in my boat around Louisville. No joke; I sweat so much that bugs are drowning on my body. I killed a hoard of gnats that way. I wonder how much sweat it would take to start killing mosquitoes? That would be good day. Who knows, maybe I will find out once I get down South.
