I got so twisted around once on the Columbia River in a very dense fog that my track must have looked like the track a worm makes in soft mud.


I was between the south shore of the river and a long, slender island. I kept thinking I was headed upstream and would find myself heading straight to one shore or the other. I'd get straightened around and within just a few minutes I'd be headed back toward a shore.


I finally got smart and when I could see the shore and knew I was paralleling it, I got a compass reading. Bingo, I ended up running out of the fog in just a few minutes and was right where I wanted to be, but it took me an hour to get there.
