We will depart on 9/26 at approximately 6:00 AM for the Kumai River on Kalimantan, still part of Indonesia, Southwest Borneo. The passage is 195 miles and we anticipate arriving on the 27th in mid afternoon. The Kumai River area is a Urang Utan Conservation area.

(not true) We understand there is a three day tour into the jungle (true)to get their autograph, (not true) complete with a boat boy to keep other monkeys off your boat. (scam to get money for the boat boy)
