Baby Development Timeline

143b - "Our Island" Leaping Hermina with Maikel.


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.

Pou agouti (animal)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.











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 ...

Walls Versus Carhartt

142 - A small island on the Maroni just for us ...

It is finally walks resume ...
I offered to two families of our friends come with us spend the day on the tiny island of Maïkkel (06 94 22 99 15) on the Maroni River in Apatou, in the middle of the jump Hermina. Program: Fishing, swimming and relaxing ...
Dominica prepares his equipment ...



There are only three years, we could not reach that in 2 hours Apatou canoe. Now there is a road (see map in blue), pierced in the Amazon that allows us to rally Apatou in 45 minutes. See the construction of this road on my blog # 1:
http://docler.blogspot.com/search/label/Apatou



We ship to the tourist office.
Maroni That is fine, under the blazing sun.

We pass the "Jump Hermina" very easily at this time of year. This is not always so easy. Everywhere there are rocks, currents and cons, extremely strong currents. Moreover, there is one thing to do in the passages of hops: "Trusting the boatman!

Then it's dead calm. The scenery is magnificent.

we come to "our island" ...
Barely landed, our 6 fish with Maïkkel men leave.
And we, the three women are alone on "Maïkkel island". We are lost in the middle of the cascade Hermina. Beware of currents. Let us be cautious, stay near the edge.
it is good to refresh ... if you can say it like that, because water is almost hot ...
The island is just big enough for carbets. One for stewardship, the other on stilts, for sleeping.
return from fishing, which was not miraculous (A tiger fish, a spotted seatrout, two and a piraïs other "unnamed"!), we prepare the barbecue lunch.
Then it's nap. In some hammocks, water, for others.

But there are dishes to do .... and who gets stuck?
Well, and if we rescued a little before leaving ... but this time, small fish for the aquarium JL How are enticed to Apatou? (Do humor!). A crumb of bread.
And it works! Proof!
Unfortunately, with the heat, they survive Not long into this bucket. Fortunately, Maïkkel has managed to resuscitate. How? By shaking his tail in the water! Bravo Maïkkel!
But all good things come to an end. Then it's back to Apatou, then to St Lawrence.
But we will return. Sure. Maybe even next weekend. but to sleep this time.
