And I'm wondering if the "deep sea adventure" and the shot of Uchenna on the dhow is not a task at all--but possibly just an alternative means of transport from Zanzibar to Dar es Salaam, or vice versa...which may explain why we haven't seen more teams afloat!...

Ending with the Roadblock back on the mainland. (Now I'll be grieving for the lost Pitstop--I bet it was supposed to be in the Serengeti or Ngorogoro Crater...)

Well, PEACH, if you've been reading my posts (which I believe you do), you would know that I have speculated that a boat trip is one of two ways I think teams get from Dar-es-Salaam over to Zanzibar. Whether it's on a dhow or not or called a "deep sea adventure" is not really important since it will be a vital tranportation link. It looks to me that teams that choose this could get to Zanzibar ahead of teams that fly, unless the winds die down.

I absolutely doubt that the "lost pitstop" was as far away as the Serengeti or Ngorogoro. Those are still distinct possiblities for episode 7, although I believe that the pitstop will be closer to Nairobi.

I thought you liked C/M Michael

So im confused..

-Flight (where C/M get secret flight)
-Roadblock
-Boat
-Detour

Is that the order of events? Can someone write a summary of the order things will hppen please? Sorry

Flight --But the Cha's catch up to Charla & Mirna...hmmmmm I wonder if C/M had to wait for the Dhow ride and thats how the Cha's caught up? Maybe 2 teams per Dhow leaving the BQ's behind to ride by themselves?
Sail
Detour
Roadblock
Pitstop ..something like that

OK, I'll try this again, in the right thread this time:

I'm reasonably sure the hired dhows

belong to the Safari Blue tour company operating out of Fumba. Could the boats have been hired for a channel crossing? Maybe, but I'll put my chips on the Charla troubles being snorkeling or something similar.

Gotcha Slowhatch

So does this mean they don't swim with the Dolphins?

Slowhatch · « **Reply #180 on:** March 22, 2007, 11:37:19 PM »

If they do, you'll need a new avatar showing the dolphins dragging Charla away.

Note correction! I had the wrong side of noon earlier.

Note yet another correction. I decided to go by azimuth angles.

This shot was taken before 11:25 am, not by much (assumes December 1st).

~~Don't tell Mirna!~~

What about this one Chateau

Chateau d If · « **Reply #184 on:** March 23, 2007, 12:15:21 AM »

Note correction. Ian's cheek makes a poor sphere. Going by azimuth instead of altitude.

This shot was taken before 11:25 am, not by much (assumes December 1st).

This was from Uchenna & Joyce's car window as they approached the fort.

I think the long and short of it is the checkin times are going to be very tight.

mswood · « **Reply #191 on:** March 23, 2007, 01:56:47 AM »

Thats really surprising Chateau.

The detour seemed like a much longer tasks (and with the distance driving, and the closeness to the Pit Stop), I woul have expected at least a 40 minute to an hour seperation.

Damn editors.

....But first Oswald gives Charla a pearl necklace

HA!!! Romance in the salt air. Are Danny and Mirna below deck

It looks like Mirna laying out and sunning on deck. You can see legs only in 1st picture and then in next picture it looks like Mirna setting up behind Oswald reacting to what was going on with Charla.

Phil is just trying to build up the drama?

Counting the baskets in the Roadblock task ..is Mirna ahead of the Danny?
and and aww the poor BQ's spilled their load

Maybe Kandice and Dustin are delivering the herb. Note that they are at the side of the curb and it looks like a husband & wife?

? (woman & man) are moving towards them. BQs don't seem upset.

I'm thinking that the items on the cart are logs or sticks of Ebony. Photo ref.

As soon as we landed, we got a phone call to say the teams had been held up. They were never gonna make it to the pit stop where we were at. We'd just unloaded all the bags in the middle of the night. So they asked the flight crew if they would fly us back the next morning, and the crew said no; they were gonna go back. So we had to load all the bags back on the plane, take the two hour flight back again, then go out and in the middle of the night for the pit stop, having not been to bed at all

Are we sure this is from this episode? It doesn't seem to fit with this episode.

MICHAEL D, the next episode should be in Africa, somewhere within that 2 hour range. The one after that is Warsaw Poland and that is over 12 hours away. There is no possiblity of flying back from Poland to East Africa to move the pit stop for Episode 7. We're not certain, but the probability is pretty high. The conjunction of close distances between pitstops is available nowhere else except between Hong Kong and Macau and that will not involve any flying.

See - that seems strange to me then, how can we have C/M and D/O checking in at the pit stop during daylight?
