Follow The Amazon Queen

The Oceans.net is a great site dedicated to following all kind of nautical adventures, including sailing races, circumnavigation attempts, and other aquatic adventures. A few weeks back they published this story about a former Vietnam War vet, and his wife, who are sailing down the length of the Amazon River in a ship called the Amazon Queen. Today, they've posted an update on the expedition, and it sounds like it's been quite the adventure so far. These two pieces are worth a read, and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for furture updates from the River.
