“You don’t drown by falling in the water; you drown by staying there.” ~ Edwin Louis Cole

8 knots down the river, an elderly lady strolling, walking a decaying dog, blows by. Time to think, good friends, wonderful things to drink, 3 hours in… a 7-day excursion decision begins to stink like French cheese on top of pig skin.
Bordeaux.: Wine… Bread… Cheese…
Spur of the moment squats and lunges…
They say many things are lost at sea – many on a river tour (like cellular service), but much is gained if you’re willing to endure…
Like watching friends take accidental plunges…
And boating skills mastered by that friend who sneaks in lunges.
What’s that sound?
There it is again! I’m trying to eat…
(Felix – trying to nail a chord in the ever so near distance…)
France makes McDonald’s sound like an intelligent idea.
Looks like they were expecting us…
Everyone’s showering, let’s come back later.
…
I guess the wine drank itself??

“The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.” ~ Paulo Coelho

One stormy day I was out at sea
The waves they rolled and tumbled over me
I spied dry land and a tall pale tree
I knew that soon that's where I'd like to be...

I got lost on the river, but I got found
I got lost on the river, but I didn't drown
I got lost on the river, but I didn't go down
I got lost on the river, but I got found

“Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just literally 20 seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.” ~ Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon) in “We Bought a Zoo”.
