Heat Exhaustion!!

SHIP'S LOG:

The last three day have been very, and I emphasize, VERY hot and humid.  In fa, they have been rather brutal. And I guess that I ever gt around to consuming as much fluid as I thought I had to stay healthy. This morning, after doing my clean-up of the club, I wet out to do a little shopping before heading off to a family gathering. However, it was not to be.

     By the time I got back from the short trip I was dizzy and feeling faint. My stomach was flipping and I felt rather poorly.  I started to get cramps in my neck and leg. Talked with one of the clubs members, who is a nurse and she felt it might be a mild case of heat exhaustion.SO basically I spent the day laying I the shade of the bimini on my boat n the cool breeze consuming copious amounts of fluids and taking aspirin. I seem pretty much alright now. I must betaking in enough fluid because I have to pee. They say in the army, in ho weather situations, that you aren't drinking enough if you ain't got to pee. Trust me, I am drinking enough now!
