I managed to get second degree burns from my kneecaps to the base of my toes on both legs/ankles/feet. I went ocean kayaking in La Jolla. I thought they would be like river kayaks, where you put your feet under the deck of the boat. Instead, you sit on them. The trip was supposed to be an hour, and it turned into 5 hours.
Honestly, I have never seen burns this bad from anything, much less the sun. It wouldn't have hurt me any more to throw half a gallon of 400F oil on my legs.
I just got to the point that I could walk about 4 days ago.
2 days into walking, and I am back in the shop, working on another freakin' sword, though. I think this sword will come together. then, knives for a break for awhile.
