In this paper the authors study geometric interpretations of regular continued fractions. They establish a simple relation between the Conway river of a real indefinite binary quadratic form and the Arnold sail of the corresponding pair of lines. Recall that these two geometric constructions play an important role in the geometry of numbers.
