Rough Water


Is it possible to turn the boat around and paddle back up river?
Can you do it alone if you've got enough determination and strength? Can someone else help when they don't know the bends and turns and where the rocks are as well as you?
There's a sandy cove that catches the sun. It's an easy place to pull up the boat; gentle, restful, once you know it, there'll be no surprises.
Someone's standing on the bridge. You crane your neck and squint but you can't see where the road leads. Into the mountains?
Turn the boat around and paddle hard or stay with the current and see where it leads?
