Orinoco River Expedition

/in , , /by

High school buddy Denny, Denny’s son and Grateful Red foredeck of the 2013 Season Scotty, Kristine and Ken motored from friendly Trinidad to the mysterious Venezuela. The Venezuela paperwork cost one large bottle of Patron tequila…the Grateful was motoring 80 kilometers up the Orinoco Delta. Great fun, traded with the Wareo Indian children, saw the pink dolphin, stayed at the Orinoco Delta Lodge – first Americans to visit in more than five years, and took a couple-day tour in the “deep jungle”.
