Is this a miracle or Biglorryblog's "Good Man in Africa" Jerry Burley finishing off the day's blog? He says: "Thought you might like these to complete the 'Navy SEAL' full hand of recent land, sea and air ops from the dark continent. Sent to me today by a chap who used to work for me, Peter Meredith (pictures actually shot by his very decorative other half Leyla Ahmet), he is one of the great modern explorers who, together with a South African ex-Reccie and a number of others, recently completed the first ever full 6500kms decent of the River Nile from Rwanda to Egypt (soon to be seen on National Geographic channel)."

Jerry continues:"He now lives on the coast in Mozambique doing something else and sent me these HSE-unfriendly photos of how they move tractors around by boat(s) in his neck of the woods. In Europe, I guess this would be enough to secure a ten year jail term with hard labour. Not so here, as.......only in Africa!" Now click through here for one more...

Of course the real question is how to get it off the boats...any ideas out there?
