Canoeing in the Amazon, come as you are

[sucuri]

So I've been doing this canoeing bit down here for a few years now. I've got some home bases (right now, Barcelos, AM) but am always moving around. Really I think I'm gonna hit the river for a long stretch pretty soon (maybe for like four months). I had someone coming for a loong trip this months but they flaked, so I find myself suddenly free. Thinking about heading to the Juruá, maybe. Recently lost most of my gear in a river disaster that I won't go into here, so I gotta work awhile and make the dough for more, but after, I'll be on the river again. I probably will only be able to tolerate nonstop Barcelos for a few more months, so I reckon January is a probable D-Day period. If anybody's around (Brazil, Amazonas state, see: Rio Negro) hit me up, must be able to take heat / bugs. Must like fish. Must not have a problem with shooting animals and eating their livers. Must have a hammock. Must be alone cause I got only 1 seat and anyways two extra mouths is a bit much.

Here's my battleship. She don't look like much but she's taken me more than 4,000 miles so don't knock her

This rules. Someone do this so I can live vicariously too.

If I could, I would ditch school and go canoeing for the rest of my years. This sounds awesome; hope someone joins you or you just have fun doing this on your own.
Awaiting pictures

Thanks guys -- I'll put up some photos. This applies to the next couple of years too so if any hitcher finds him or herself in Brazil before 2016 or 2017 I'll probably still be doing this, if they don't deport me before then
