The raised triangle of sediment that usually collects at a river’s mouth was absent. Now the incoming current—intensified by strong tides that accompanied the nearly full moon—was still close to its peak power; it would be impossible to row against.

After storing the last of the food, repacking gear to make it fit in the cramped compartments, and filling water containers, we were ready to go.
