Oric and Frieda formed an unsteady alliance, arguing against Snidely’s amused intransigence. He was a classic case of Dunning-Kruger—so entrenched and confident in his ignorance that he didn’t even realize how much he didn’t know. I let the argument drone on in the background while I watched the shoreline drift by. As enjoyable as the days on the river with my friends had been, there was a lot to be said for the sailor lifestyle as well.
