Steaming Upriver (MAR 07)

About 8:00 AM, we anchored off Macapa near the mouth of the Amazon.  The ship picked up two pilots and went through some inspection procedure.  The anchor came up about 10:00 AM and we began the trip upriver. 

Some things are just plain impressive.  The Amazon River is one of those things.  The fact that we transited it before made no difference in an enjoyable day watching pass by vast amounts of rainforest dotted with pockets of civilization.
