When Charla and Mirna reached the boat dock, they were told they could not sail due to bad weather, even thought it was totally sunny outside.
1. How far away is Zanzibar City from Dar es Salaam?
2. How long would it have taken to get there in the dhau (I'm guessing on spelling)?
Good luck!

Week Seven: Bonus Question
According to Teri and Ian in an interview post-race, the reason flights were so booked to Dar es Salaam was due to 10,000 people headed to the city for a religious ceremony / pigrimage.
Since Danny told us during the Mozambique episode that it was World's AIDS Day, what religion ceremony caused our favorite cranky old military couple to get philiminated?
Good luck!

Week Three Bonus Answer
The Gauley River through the New River Gorge is the 8th best place in the world to white water raft, but only when the class V rapids are open for 22 days in September and October when the day is opened specifically to create these awesome rapids.
Oh, it's beautiful, too.
