We are about an hour away from entering the Amazon conflux - where all the tributaries of the Amazon empty out into the Atlantic Ocean so we are warned that the turbulence will be strong for several hours until we get further in to the Amazon river itself. It is lunchtime so there could be some upset tummies.
I am amazed that this large ship can even sail the Amazon but the river itself can vary between 1-6 miles in width and the depth is deep enough if we stay in the middle.
Tomorrow morning we cross the equator.
We will be sailing for 2 days now while the Brazilian authorities come on board to check our health system and all sorts of documents as well as mechanical parts of the ship.
