ten more miles

All the reasons in the world for me to turn around, but why can't I? I keep paddling, but I'm deluding myself. I think to myself, maybe a mile more and I'll turn around. But ten more go by and still I'm pushing forward. Well, this time I really will do it. I just need to find an area large enough to turn my canoe so I don't scrape the sides and possibly overturn.
