Hassle-free trip for the Spoorloos team on a long fifth day
Smooth water and beautiful scenery moved the team along to their destination, the Boegoebergdam.
The Spoorloos team began their #HaalAsem journey for mental health awareness on Friday March 16. On Saturday March 11 they finished their fifth day on the Orange River.
The team woke up early that morning and started their 140km river journey from Prieska to Boegoebergdam and enjoyed the breathtaking landscapes on this remote river route throughout the day.
They saw osprey, buck and a mountain range covered by what looked like a thousand quiver trees.

The smooth river flow made the long distance bearable, but with little to no cellphone signal, it was challenging to contact the recovery (ground) team.
When the teams arrived at Boegoebergdam the men agreed that after five successful days on the river the boats officially passed their initiation, and were named “Otter 1” and “Blesbok 2” with the recovery vehicle now known as “Kobra 11”

The teams looked forward to a good night’s rest at the end day five and took time to mentally prepare themselves for day six’s trajectory; 120km from Boegoebergdam to Upington.
“Always remember that the storms you are facing now will pass and remind yourself to look for the rainbow when it does.”
