Gone fishin'

We worked very hard those first few days, and as a reward our scientist, Don Eaton, took us our on the motorboat. He told us we had some data to get from the river. We headed down the Rio Negro. Some of that data we gathered with fishing poles.

If you look closely you can see one of my partners in the background, and that we are standing in the water. Remember, there are caiman (a type of aligator) and piranha in this part of the world, and the Rio Negro has more than its share of them.
