A club member used to run a shrimp farm on an island in the river, 40nM away from the club. Since he lives close to the club, needless to say his plane was the primary way of transport. 20 minutes flying or 3 hours in a canoe……..hhhmmm, difficult. Especially if you want to bring in a few people (biologists) a day…….and you love flying!

Not even taking in account the dangers of transporting money etc over the river………apparently there are some home grown pirates in the area.

In the above example it even works out cheaper………but yes, these are very uncommon exceptions.
