Canals follow the topography. They turn and wind. When boaters misjudge a turn, they have to put the engine in reverse to avoid "touching" the bank. (Surely not ME!)

Especially when there's an audience, it's tempting to try to rev your way through what's become a multi-point turn.

But there's no fast way out. A 17-tonne boat accelerates slowly. I've learned, if the boat is drifting into alignment—however slowly—just wait; let it drift.

Had a look at the winding hole, which is about 6 boat lengths ahead.

It's lined in concrete. I could see where boats have scraped and chipped away at it. Some wood beams would be welcome, to protect both the steel boats and the concrete.

Tomorrow I'll turn the boat in there, very slowly, and then head back uphill and south for a full day before deciding: east, west, or further south?
