Gambia River Nov 11th almost there

The river has really narrowed from being 10 miles wide to about 10 meters (in places) generally the river is over 4 meters deep however we are now anchored/aground in about 2 meters of water, (this time we snugged our anchor in the mud just incase) We followed two Hippos into shore and have shut everything down for the day so can get some bettter pics and sleep. We are just upstream of Baboon Island and only another few more hours steam from Georgetown. The Monkeys have been quite active along the shoreline trees and there are hundreds of birds of every colour and shape. Of course the bids are fuel by the millions of bugs which are also out in full force come sundown. Some such as the African earwig have decided to call our boat home, again the distance and difficultly to get to an airport saved our relationship once again as one of these creepy crawlers landed on Vicky while she was lying down. Her cry was louder than those of the Hippos.
