It does remind me of a disease that can cause disastrous results to those who contract it. It is called "Gethomeitis" or in hyphenated form:
"Get-Home-itis".
It has caused many a bad result, and am glad that you did survive your brush with this.
I understand the need to get things off an island, but I shudder to think of what can happen when we put ourselves in harms way. The cam views of the lake were scary as heck.
Hope your final trip will be kinder.
