The shimmering line of the river tells the story of this shifting landscape as the force of its nature drives commerce perpetually toward the sea and back again. For a moment we stop to ponder our inverse relationship with these brown water sailors, as they slog along at about eight minutes a mile and we cruise comfortably at eight miles a minute.
