Beached

Rowing till after dark again and trying to find a stream to throw out my anchor, I ended up staying in a stream called dry creek.  I went to bed parked in a cove in at least two feet of water.   I woke up and to my amazement found myself beached twenty feet from the waters edge.  The water level must have dropped over night.  It took me an hour to drag my boat back to the river.  The boat weighs much more than I thought. I almost broke a toe getting it out, but eventually, I was on my way rowing down the river.
