 30°0'0"S                                                                                                                                                                                                     30°0'0"S
                    “No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk
                   his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.”
                                   – Theodore Roosevelt.

              Under a moon which occasionally peeked through incoming cloud
            cover, Skye and Ndara made quick progress as two experienced captains –
            at a price. Fully briefing Ndara on the previous run and the concerns about
            Layla, the Kenyan’s superior Honda outboard was a blessing, and kept
            them cutting through the growing waves. The problem was the regionally-
            purchased wooden bateau which was taking a pounding, stressing its ribs
            and stays to their limits. They decelerated and regained trim, as it was
            all for naught if Lake Kivu broke the old boat in half and devoured them
            en route.
