"So the basic principles of a ferry are similar to those on an eddy turn or a peel out speed, angle and lean. The speed on the ferry is speed across the eddy line we want to get across that zone of turbulence as quickly as we can. So we're into the current where the water is more consistent the angle if you think of the clock face is 12 o'clock pointed up stream we want to be at a 1 o'clock to 1:30 coming from the right hand shore, the river right hand shore or about 10:30 or 11 o'clock coming from the river left hand shore. In this case this is an on side ferry form which means that my stroke is on the on side on the, the side I'm ferrying toward. With my stroke on the side I'm ferrying toward every stroke I take is going turn me out and take me more up stream, more toward 12 o'clock on the clock face. So on this ferry what I want to do is start out with a little to much angle I often start off with a 2 o'clock angle and figure with that 2 o'clock angle with on side stroke with every stroke will tend to keep me about a 1:30 angle as I'm ferrying across the current. The other 2 component of a ferry are angle and lean so the angle again is about 1:30 or so and other one is lean, I'm going to lean down stream or towards more down stream edge. In this case I'll be leaning to the rights edge, so here's an on side ferry about a 1:30."
