Stuey and I played A LOT of cards out on Afognak. We'd been playing some games with house guests at home and he was excited to play more on Afognak. He even brought along a book of rules for various card games, and insisted that I bring cards, backgammon and the cribbage board. On Afognak we were ready to go.
The first evening I was super impressed with how quickly he picked up gin. I had told him that it was too complicated of a game for us to begin with, and then he promptly caught me twice with gins. The next day we migrated up to rummy 500. The game where you can take the pile if you use the bottom card. He quickly learned about 'salting the pile' or what he termed as 'bait'. As in 'awww dad you stole my bait' - this when I unexpectedly took the whole pile.
On the second day of the trip I think we played for 7 hours. We played by the wood stove in the teepee, on the beach and even out on the rocks by the point. Good times. Cards in the sunshine with glorious vistas in all directions!
