It's your first day on the job at the Speedy Express delivery company, and there's one last batch of cargo to be delivered before you can call it a day. You start to wonder whether you followed the directions correctly when the road dead-ends at a large body of water. Then you remember the shift supervisor's parting words as you pulled out of the warehouse this morning: "By the way, you do know how to row, don't you?"

You're at the southern shore of a wide river which runs east to west as far as you can see. A stretch of fine sand here makes for a scenic, if narrow, beach. A wooden dock extends out several feet from the beach into the water. Across the river, a hundred yards or so to the north, you can just make out the far shore. To the south is the road you drove in on, your delivery van parked off on the shoulder.
Tied to one post of the dock is a rowboat.
You can also see a fox, a duck and a sack of grain here.
