Awaken by some fishermen that helped us getting out of the trees and mud. An expereience we shall be lucky enough meke more often.

So then we turn left into the Sf. Gheorghe arm, the wildest of the three main arms in the Delta, keen on going zig-zag across the channels. We missed the first turn as it was missing resp. only existing on the map and take the Litcov channel instead. Even highly concentrated navigating did not save us from hugging trees and knocking sleepy pirates on the roof into the land of dreams again by softly stroking them with willow branches…Better wear your helmets.

Trying to find our way to a lake for the night we meet local swamp people with and without teeth asking them for directions. But the delta is big, the channels are longer than expected and our map is more of a general overview than really useful for orientation. It starts getting dark and so we take the next ‘almost landlike’ spot to stay for the night. It turns out to be another mosquito paradise and an area where fishermen like to drive highspeed without lights through dark and narrow channels.
