Row a hire boat out to the middle and stop

“The first minute is all caught crabs and going in circles while people on the bank watch. Then the oars find a rhythm, the bank goes quiet, and the middle of the water is a room nobody else is in.”

The Recipe

  1. Hire a rowing boat from the nearest place that rents them by the hour.
  2. Row out to the middle, badly at first, until the shore is the same distance all round.
  3. Ship the oars and let it drift for as long as it takes to stop feeling watched.
  4. Row back a longer way than you came.
