Notes from Camp Kotok: The Ghost Boat

The “ghost boat” is familiar to anyone who’s ever spent any significant time on the water. Go out for a quick paddle, and those first few steps back on the dock can be a bit wobbly. But spend five days standing in a boat, the waves rocking beneath you, and once you get back on land, you’ll feel the disconnect between your internal perceptions of reality and terra firma for at least a few days.
