Preparations for the OEWONA River challenge 2010 have started and following a plenary visit to the First Lady of Namibia Madam Penehupifo Pohamba early this week, a small party in 3 vehicles with 3 rubber duck boats left Windhoek today in high spirits. The recce trip is done primarily to plot the GPS points for stopovers, calculation of fuel, camp sites, identify dangers or potential problems etc.
