Locating the ancestral grounds

Sitting in the canopy with my legs stretched in its rather spacious insides, I waited for the current to carry me close to my destination. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but wonder where would it carry me if I simply sat back and let go of all my plans. 

Regretfully, I was too pressed for time to just relax and enjoy my adventurous nature. Only now it started to dawn on me that growing in strength and influence brought not only the benefits but also responsibility!

Taking a look at the remaining distance from the island I was aiming for, I released a deep sigh and picked the oars. Despite covering barely half of the distance I had to travel by sea, if I wanted to change my landing spot, I had to free myself from the current way earlier. For some reason that I was too unknowledgeable to understand, the closer I got to the land, the stronger the force of the current was!
