According to Alvin Einstein, if you paddle counterclockwise you will travel into the past. I'm pretty sure you did that, but am too chicken to edit your direction.

Clocks, schedules, timetables.... Recped dismissed all such nuisances once he had his chicken and apple pie in hand.

I tried to type an explanation for this, but never really got it to where I thought it clear enough. So, here is a simple sketch, enhanced by AI, that shows the principle of turning clockwise to travel counter-clockwise. Basically, forward motion orbiting a fixed point determines CW or CCW. So generally right-hand orbits will be CW, and generally left-hand orbits will be CCW. Because of the pathway recped took to enter the reservoir, he would need to sweep around CW to enter the CCW loop, and then sweep again CW to exit the CCW loop.
