This morning we join a forest creek to fish the Aymara. It is a carnivorous fish that can reach 1.40 and 45 kgs.
It's here that we will enter "Jungle"!
1h walk and 2 lost soles of shoes later, we arrive at the creek. Maikel takes half an hour when he is alone!
Maikel brings back two Aymara.
The resistance of this fish is incredible. He had to start from the water two times long after his capture.
Petite session "thrill" . Maikel we left the creek while he was leaving his second fish Aymara and after a while, which seemed very long, we thought we "abandoned". What has happened to him? Why does he not return our calls? How will we do? We are unable to find our way. Along the creek, we need more than a day to reach level of the Maroni Apatou. In addition, we were told that nobody was in that corner. More fishermen, hunters .... more
PHEW! He's back!
A small drink and a good breakfast on "Maikel Island" we fixed up.
then re-hammock-napping and swimming. Is happiness. Some fishing "soft" around the island and we must return.
So we need to retake the "jump Hermina. On the way, no problem, plenty of water, no height difference.
But in return ...
(click on this little film to get the jump with us and see how it goes sometimes, knowing that it is sometimes much harder than that in dry season)
The adventure is adventure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if it is not much !!!!!!!!
Oh, I forgot the aftermath of the weekend. We have been devoured by lice agoutis.

The power of agouti is the common name Guiana a mite local Family of Trombiculidae and close chiggers.
We met the larvae in the grass and foliage at the end, hoping that the animal grazes. They then take leave to attach to his skin feed on blood . They are then responsible for erythema very itchy . With a size of 0.2 mm , they appear as small bright red dots in the middle of a maculopapular lesion - papular areas of friction and at the folds. The itch can be intense to prevent sleep and usually lasts one week. The animal remains in place until a few days and then detaches itself to complete its life cycle in the soil. The pruritus remains several days after his departure. The lesions are less and less important with each episode, there is a gradual desensitization varies each individual. (There is hope!)
It is possible to extract the larvae with a needle or a nail. Oil touloucouna (Carapa) is a good means of prevention. There is also a pharmacy Elenol ® (lindane ) Ascabiol ®, etc.. The antihistamines have moderate action. A low local corticosteroid may be given.
There is no known disease transmitted through the bite of these mites.
Scratch'N insured for 4 days!! Where have they found? In the creek in the forest at our picnic Saturday at noon on our island of sand? We will never know. It does not matter. But I think Saturday, I'll ask Native Americans find me Carapa oil. This is what they use them in prevention.
15 days after . Rest of the story: I still have not managed to get rid of those dreadful little beasts, despite the lemon, Elenol the Ascabiol, alcohol ...
... And I do not have that on your ankle ...
For cons, I just found in pharmacies and is brand new, spray 'repulsive' "Cons of agouti lice, chiggers and ticks. I will not fail to set Monday for our next release ...
