It seems as though just over a week ago I was in and out of the North Fork of the Virgin River in Zion National Park. I an done with getting my feet wet for a few months now. For today, Jacob and I decided to stay on top of the water.
After a little racing around Lake Evans, it was time to do some relaxing and catch some vitamin D. Last time I went to the doctor he extolled the virtues of vitamin D. Low vitamin D leads to heart disease and cancer. Ten minutes in the sun, without sun screen and wearing a tank top and shorts can produce about 10,000 International Units of vitamin D. The other alternatives for getting vitamin D are eating oily fish, drinking lots of milk and taking pills. Me, I would rather go sailing in my shorts and t-shirt.
