Dear Larry,
Here are a couple of photos from an adventure on the Coppename River that I took with several friends. I am hoping to begin a
professional river guidingservice here in Surinam called Survival River Tours and Travel, and this trip offers everything you could
imagine from a small creek to a couple of large runnable waterfalls.

We began the trip w/ a helicopter ride into the Central Nature Reserve of Surinam, a World Heritage site. First we floated Kodjo
Creek to the Tangi Mama Creek, and then finally into the Coppename River. The fishing is great, and we eat a lot of freshly caught
fish for breakfast and dinner. Our favorite fish are the anjoemara and the fruit eating piranha. We often camp on wonderful
sandbars, either sleeping under the stars, in hammocks, and occasionally in tents. Although Surinam is located along the
equator, it can get chilly at night.

I am waiting to receive other photos from my friends, and will forward them to you. I purchased my first SOARs in 1999 and now
own 3 of them. Great boats!
