Jumping on to the boat. A good push so that the boat is in deep water, and the engine can be lowered.
Keeps getting hard, as we keep getting stuck.
Andy tried to go through the vegetation. But could just manages few meters. Getting out was more hard.
Moritz giving a helping hand to pull the boat out.
Edwin has a new head.

Paul gets a boat driving lesson from Andy.

River keeps criss crossing. One day we camp in Brazil, and next day in Paraguay. And the third day it may be in Brazil but the other side of river could be Bolivia. In wetlands it is is very difficult to find dry land to camp.

Andy and Stefano get on the boat to get fuel, in Fuerte Olimpo, a small village in Paraguay.
Finding fuel in this area is very hard. It’s needs planning ahead, and constantly looking for it. Not just finding fuel.
Reaching the fuel station from boat is also a task in itself. Today we were managed well.
