Saturday the 28th Rio Heath to Pampas del Heath
I woke up late after first light, so had to pack up quickly. We had breakfast on board of pre hard boiled eggs, yoghurt drink and cereal bars! Should I tell you the this next bit or not….After a hard haul over some rocks we saw that the Lobo had a 1mm split in her keel! But the crew didn’t seem too worried so neither was i, honest ;o) ! Apparently these things happen to them all the time, and the keel swells. It was not letting in water and didn’t not effect the structure of the boat.
We arrived at the start of the path that lead us through the jungle to the edge of the pampas. Unloaded the boat and took what we needed for 2 days camp. It was nearly 2k through the jungle and then 1k across the pampas to a woodland where the base camp was. The wood would be welcome relief to the mid day sun of 40 C.
