maintain them because we know it's hard to get any of the equipments down here for the last few months and few weeks we have been trading really hard. he's a tough as lead now. about the 1st steps on the what was the were not so easy when i joined the club, this island club i so i would, i had some friends who helped me for me. i do enjoy every minute when i'm in the city, but my main thing calling in winning though with these by a few of the people on the packing going and coming a big boat in kenya sloan, i'm kind of getting involved, completing the costs of hunting gates, and the fastest time possible green gates across 12 moving down stream. fucked rate

gates must be crossed in an upstream direction. states in europe, often training into a facilities without the official with is and 5 o'clock gates. but here on this, the gone to semi and his friends make do with what they have in kenya, the as of agreement and infrastructure. we have the most chatted us compared to other countries. this loan get uh so important that is uh you have to maneuver that on the uh, green falls uh reviews being and cable that we have like both types. so we painted them green and red. just to identify the ups. do you mind the dosing get? yeah, that's our own we own house to do a level for see if as this disposing and the equipment related obstacles when to now,
