This is a neat picture. The last day in Cambriu. You can�t see it (it�s just far enough to the right to be cut off by the edge of the picture), but the Gaia was out about 200 yards into the ocean. The waves were really bad, so Gaia couldn�t get too close to the shore. You can see the clouds coming up and the waves crashing in. We were loading a 15 foot long motorized wooden canoe with our supplies and sending it out with two people aboard to load the Gaia. Everybody in this picture is trying to get the canoe outpast the major waves without tipping it. We�re talking many thousands of dollars of equipment that would be literally washed away if the canoe tipped. We were able to get all of our stuff safely back to the main camp luckily. |
This is my favorite picture. That�s me walking through the rainforest back to Maruja after our little stay in Cambriu. The walk between Maruja and Cambriu was something like 14km. Most of it was on the beach, but there was enough forest trekking to let you know your feet were there. And you can�t see it in this picture, but the mosquitos would not leave us alone! That�s all of the pictures that I�ve had time to post. I�m going through some of the others, and I�ll scan those soon. I hope you enjoyed them. Be sure to check out Earthwatch�s Web site! |
