"My favorite experience on this AquaRAP was watching the full moon rise over the Five Thousand Island Rapids, while chatting with the Ye'kwana about their river and impressions of us. They told me this was the first time many of them had ever worked with foreigners. And, although they sounded surprised, they said we were very good people!"
