Visibility was poor and got worse as we motored the 3 hours up river to the town of Kumai. At times visibility was 1/4 mile from the smoke from 'slash and burn' fires and the inversion layer trapping the air. This would have been a very pretty tropical jungle destination. Instead the acrid smell of fires is choking at times. Looking forward to leaving except saw that fires from Sumatra are smoking a path all the way along our route to Singapore. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34242311 With cruising, as in life, you have to take the good with the bad.
