One man's rush to jump on the kayaking bandwagon

How to ruin a nice day on the lake

Heath and I headed out to the lake today to take advantage of the strangely warm weather. While the air temperature was a very un-December 71, the water temperature was 48.
We packed lunch and hoped to find a nice sandy beach to get out and eat. The water level was much higher than usual and the beaches just weren't there. We wound up just eating in out boats.
Around 2:30, I got a text message from that evil bitch Nagios telling me that things were not going well at the datacenter. I didn't hear it, or else I would have stopped, but it was buried in my drywell inside of a drybox. It looks like I'm now in the market for a real GPS. The text message somehow interrupts my GPS software. Get a text message, no more track recording. That is unacceptable.
Today started off with a nice paddle and ended in a paniced run to the datacenter.
