In future, if you have mates around who want to take the boats for a spin, don't forget to tell them about how fast the main river runs after 100 mm or so of rain overnight. Don't forget to tell them that in a light breeze they may not be able to sail faster than the current.
Don't laugh as you see them walking the boats back round the corner till they can sail again.
Would that be John with the Swallow and, maybe, Captain Flint with the Amazon?
