due to the river being in, operations had to be slowed down

I'm not British. Can someone explain what this means? When is a river "in"?

It's related to tides. The river being in would suggest the tide was in / high. So a lot more water to slow down operations.

I guess the lesson is, if you're gonna steal a canoe and don't know how to swim, steal a life vest, too.

It is sad that someone died, of course, but I don't think 'poor git'. I think ' don't steal shit that isn't yours, particularly canoes if you intend to use them and can't swim'.

Moron.
