River crossings?

[locodog]

Hi Grant and all,
My next conumdrum is this. The biggest obstacle (apart from no fuel enroute) on my Mozambique journey is the Limpopo River.
At present the wet part of the river is 70 metres (200 feet) wide and between 40 and 70 centimetres (approx. 14 - 30 inches) deep (the dry part is 900 metres of sand...) There is no current to speak of and the river bed is sandy and flat.
There is no bridge and no boats or canoes of any kind. Happily, I am told, there are also no crocodiles.
I doubt whether I'll be able to ride the R60 through but I'd be happy to be proved otherwise.
Any advice on riding, dragging, floating or other assorted river-crossing magic tricks gratefully received.
cheers
Paul
