Urmi River

River trip on a motor kayak Bratan B450 with Mercury 5 outboard. On 100 km I have spent 15 liters of fuel. The boat was carrying one person and 70 kg of luggage.

With this kayak with transom it is possible to go fast with a paddle and motor

Here the Urmi River flows on sand; the current is slack

The speed was up to 23 km/hour

Along the river we have seen several fires – some idiots are burning dry grass

Forest fire at night

Terrain with tussocks is not suitable for hiking
