why didn't she fly...?

(...instead of just paddling frantically hoping?...)




"Then sail, my fine lady, on the billowing wave -
The water below is as dark as the grave,
And maybe you'll sink in your little blue boat -
It's hope, and hope only, that keeps us afloat"
Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad




(for those of you that may be naturally concerned...the good news is that she was OK in the end...saved by me...naturally...after taken the photo...naturally!?...)
