IGreat story!

Naturally I anticipated some kind of downstream problem. I mean who wouldn't, it was all just starting off too well.

In my case I expected a roaring waterfall around the bend - nope. There was the giant tree crashing down into the water as you drifted towards the bank - nope. Ah! The object floating in the water! It’s an animal, here we go, but there's no crocs in the NS! Dead? Nah, bound to come to life and turn out to have a taste for warm feet - nope. Oh, a levitating muskrat! Who could've expected that?

Seriously, should be a great book!
