The mosquitoes. Oh, the mosquitoes. Did you know that Special Areas, Alberta, has mosquitoes trained to like the taste of DEET? Because they do. When I got back to the dock I encountered a mother/daughter pair who were trying to fish and furiously slapping at skeeters. I threw them the tube of Great Outdoors repellent from my bag on the board as I pulled it out of the water. I don't think it helped them that much, either, because I saw them quitting fishing about ten minutes later while still slapping at bugs.
I legit looked like I had measles after that trip, I had so many bug bites.
