Great sail. It was actually very cold that night,, but that's out of control of anyone. Guides were fantastic, very knowledgeable, had a great time. The engine runs the entire time the sails are up, so you do hear that noise. You are sailing but was told the river current is so strong that they leave it going for safety.

Too bad to have had two guides who spoke English even if we were able to communicate in broken English for them as for us. Good to know any bottle opened will have to be paid in full regardless of the number of glasses consumed.
