The pictures from the other thread look so calm and perfect, glad it turned out ok.
I'm pretty good about taking more than I need, like towels, jackets, rope, bungies, head lamps, and other misc items, after this I think I'd be tempted to find room for a tarp too. Beach the boat and just wait it out with shelter.
But then again, if I knew the lake and knew people were waiting and worrying, I might hike it or take the boat, depending on the wind direction and all that. I think you did well, and the sump pump sounds like it was a good investment.
Also, I don't know how the cell reception is there, but a phone app like MyRadar that shows Doppler weather and the direction could be handy for the future. See if any rain is headed your way and how much more is coming.
