Facing breeched dams and loose bulls on the Connecticut River; ? Making his way through alligator-infested swamps of Georgia and Florida on the Chattahoochee River; ? Outguessing rapids and quicksand on the lower Bío Bío River in Chile; ? Dodging towboats and exploding fish on the Ohio River, from Cincinnati to Brandenburg, Kentucky.Through thick and thin, Jim may have stumbled into a new theory of knowledge: If you want to learn from your mistakes, he says, you need lots of them.
