Just checking my ancient brain synapses with some help from online
dictionaries
reach [intransitive verb] 5. Nautical To sail with the wind abeam.
reach [noun] 6. Nautical The tack of a sailing vessel with the wind
abeam.
7. The stretch of water visible between bends in a river or
channel.
taken from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/reach
so a river in English can consist of bends and reaches
