@AncientSwordRage I recommend chartering a boat, or finding one of the old sailing vessels out of Baltimore, Chicago, or Traverse City that offer passenger service.
@GcL I got left and right mixed up because I thought the wheel would work like in a car (I can't drive, so I don't know why I thought that would help), and the next thing I know, the propeller is tangled on something and I'm drifting into the beach
@outis This question acknowledges the answer to that question. Instead, this question is asking about the interaction between the idea of casting counterspell on your turn and a particular rule not mentioned in that question, making this a totally different question, despite similar titles. — Thomas Markov1 min ago
