Dear CINCies,

As you know some of us who had never been to San Miguel Island finally
got to visit there last Saturday.
I was REALLY looking forward to going, since this would be my 8th
island.
So when Josh woke up at 5:00 AM with a temperature of 102 degrees, given
the circumstances, I did what I felt any good wife would do.... 
Emailed the CINC looking for his replacement, gave Josh two aspirins,
reminded him to drink plenty of fluids and blew him a kiss goodbye....

Look if the NOAA report of "wind between 18 and 24 mph with gusts as
high as 33 mph" 
wasn't going to stop me from getting my 8th island...then a grown man
with 102 temp wasn't ether! 

To set up the story, they skiffed everyone off the boat, except the
actors, who needed to get in to costume. 
Once ashore people had a choice of several different hikes. If they
chose the hikes, they would miss the Cabrillo reenactment.
I for one, didn't know when I would ever get another chance to behold a
troupe of velveteen clad men, wielding pointy swords and staffs, 
all squished together, in a small rubber boat.
So I stayed at sea level and watched and waited for the fun to
begin....I wasn't disappointed. I hope you aren't either.
