Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of a sailing vessel navigates the Gambia River, traveling 1,120 kilometers inland from the Atlantic Ocean toward Kuntao in search of hippopotamuses.▶ 0:08 During the transit, the boat becomes snagged on a submerged fishing net that spans the width of the river.▶ 3:51 Thilo dives into the murky, crocodile-inhabited water to clear the line from the rudder anode.▶ 6:25 The crew utilizes a 20-hp dinghy to maneuver the vessel away from additional nets and to avoid propeller entanglement.▶ 5:05 As they progress upstream, the water transitions from saline to fresh, and the vegetation shifts from mangroves to palms and reeds.▶ 2:28 Upon reaching the vicinity of Kuntao, the crew observes hippos and monkeys in a tropical, humid environment.▶ 3:09 The journey requires careful timing with tidal currents to navigate narrow sections and avoid shallow areas.▶ 1:57 The crew notes that local residents rely on the river for fishing, rice cultivation, and laundry, particularly during the hot, dry season.▶ 9:45
