CHARGE!!!!!!

Yes...

We are at it again. On Friday the 24th of May 32 men will meet at the Victoria Falls garage at 6am eagerly awaiting our 23rd annual TURBO CHARGE.

With 15 trucks and boats attending, this is always a great eye opener on the roads of Zimbabwe. We all leave Bulawayo together and drive in convoy to Olive Beadle where our journey begins. We are fortunate enough to be able to leave from the river this year as the water level is so high there is little chance of weeds and debris blocking our path.

With only a satellite phone for emergency communication and of course our ship to shore radios to help us on our way, this trip is all about getting away from the world and having what can only be described as a monumental recovery of the soul!

We are lucky to have Oscar once again this year and she certainly provides great comfort and respite from the harsh African sun. With four Piranhas, two wolves, three Coyotes a Tomahawk and the big raft going, we have certainly covered all bases for the trip.

So... We leave from Olive Beadle on Saturday morning and head to Chete island where we spend our first night on the beach, around a fire with the stars staring down on us, we then leave the next morning and cross the infamous Sengwa basin to an Island called Nyamanbiri for our second night. Then it is off the the fantastic lodge Gache Gache for two nights of civilised accommodation, hot showers and proper beds! The return journey is always a surprise so I won't add anything in the blog as to give it away!

Anyone who is lucky enough to own a Turbo Glass boat is eligible to attend this annual event and trust me when I say this, it is not to be missed!! We have people on this trip who have done it all 23 times and most men going are people who have been before and do not want to miss out! If you own a Turbo Glass boat and wish to attend in 2014, now is a good time to book a spot as we can't afford to get too big due to safety reasons on the water!

As always tight lines, The Turbo Team.
