I guess we are dealing with a river that is wide enough to be scary and currents strong enough to not just get over it... (well the currents must be milder just here - why they would have built the ferry just here, if not for that reason?)

You are having nice points, and I must see to my plan accordingly.

What I'm afraid, is - like Farael thinks - that a horse could get over (manymanymany miles downriver), but could the rider hang on with it? I'll provide us with some possible soultions (at the description of the surroundings) when we come to the shore.

Maybe you find out the few possibilities I have kind of forethought, or what would be even better, find a way to do it, that I haven't even thought of!
