Cool My Hammock SDtory

We were on an FTX in Panama, at a place called Frijoles Island. IIRC it was part of the Smithsonian Research Center. The mosquitoes were the thickest I had ever experienced. They were also quick and educated. If you touched against the netting of the hammock, they would drill right through the net. Their tracks totally paralleled your veins. When you opened the hammock netting to get in you had to be quick since they followed you. Once you sealed the netting you had to spray the inside. I decided to be clever and quick. I counted to three, opened the net and leaped into the hammock intending to seal the net ASAP. Instead, I went right through and out the opposite side. Half of the team also fell out of their hammocks laughing at my silly ass.
