Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints

2 of 9: He also said to sail along the river crook and keep close to the shore.
3 of 9: When you start out, go past the right side of the tree that's sticking out in the water.
4 of 9: When you can see that you're moving toward a shore, turn left.
5 of 9: NOTE: I've found that the easiest way to move the boat is to use the W and S keys to move forward and backward while using the mouse to steer.
6 of 9: Go straight forward until you reach another shore, then turn left again.
7 of 9: Go straight until you reach some racks that aren't old Sam's, then turn right.
8 of 9: You'll soon reach some more racks that aren't old Sam's. Pass by them on their right side.
