Wood boat and river rapids

Only the wood boats are able to stare the dangerous rapids of the Jari River. Full of rapids and hidden rocks, the navigation is slow and cautious. The pilot handles the engine and keeps his eyes in the stand-up person in front of the boat, to point the direction and avoid hidden rocks!
