We’d have to stow enough food to last the two of us for up to five months. It would barely fit in the boat. We arrived at the wholesale supermarket Makro armed with a shopping list, or perhaps more accurately a shopping book. After mulling over our nutritional requirements, we’d done our best to itemize what would be required to get us across the ocean in good health.

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.
