A brief PSA about sunburn. One of the downsides of my awesome kayaking adventure in the sun is some red, sensitive skin. My father has had skin cancer over 10 different times, and my mom's had it as well - so watch it! I'm not a big sunscreen fan, but of course it's the best medicine. I'm inclined to think the sun has positive effects as well, but too much is no good. And a huge part of prevention is staying aware of your own skin and watching for any weird changes. I'm including a link here to WebMD's great page about skin cancer. Check yourself!
