After a month of ports and excursions, we looked forward to a calm day on the water with a great host. On the drive to the marina, he pointed out many sites and told us about them. When we arrived at the 30+ ft boat, we settled in for scenic ride upriver. We went into tributaries, watched cormorants fish. saw wrecks, We watched a very young kids sailing class along the way. They were surprisingly skilled. It was interesting seeing all of the worker homes settled on squatted islands. I even got to try a little fishing though I didn't catch anything but I had fun in a serene setting with wildlife around. Our host catered a very nice spread on the boat while we anchored. We could have kayaked also. When we docked, we had a nice meal at the club resturant, then on the drive back we stopped at an amazing cathedral. It was a relaxing change from our busy cruise around South America.
