Actually, I was about to get my own ass whooped in there. There's a big hole on the left hand side so you need to stay right. In order to do that, the stern of the boat needs to be facing right, and as you can see in the photograph, it's facing left! That's why my right oar is cocked backwards, I'm desperately waiting for space to drop it in and do a reverse sweep to spin the boat around. I'd just come thru a narrow slot upstream and I hit something which spun the boat around stern left. I don't know if it was just poor judgment on my part, being too far right (other boats had run the slot clean) or whether the fact that I was rowing the biggest boat just meant there wasn't enough room to get thru the slot without hitting something. In any event, I was able to drop the oar just after the picture was taken and spin the boat around in time to make the pull to the right.
