It sounds like you had fun taking a "trip down memory lane," @pjpavan. How fortunate that your cousin on the raft was fine when he was rescued.
Thank you for sharing your creative nonfiction work in The Ink Well, and for reading and commenting on the work of other community members.
Thank you very much for your comment, of course I enjoyed remembering it, yes, but it was a scare not only for him but for all of us.
