THE RIVER SEA

Do you want to see how I guess the thought of Matt?

He is approaching the land, hoping to see the monstrous mouth of the

gigantic Amazon, the world's largest river.

The AMAZON

which has the largest drainage basin in the world, about 7,050,000 square kilometres (2,720,000 sq mi), accounts for approximately one-fifth of the world's total river flow.

The width of the Amazon varies between 1.6 and 10 kilometres (1.0 and 6.2 mi) at low stage, but expands during the wet season to 48 kilometres (30 mi) or more. The river enters the Atlantic Ocean in a broad estuary about 240 kilometres (150 mi) wide. The mouth of the main stem is 80 kilometres (50 mi). Because of its vast dimensions, it is sometimes called The River Sea.  (WIKIPEDIA)

Good winds Matt! If you come back to Annapolis by sea, Il will publish your portrait between those of Joshua Slocum and Bernard Moitessier, on my humble blog. LoL!
