ExWeb CES report: Something new is brewing

Heavily wounded and with no identity documents & no money the indigenous people in the Jungle washed off Davey’s dry blood, rubbed his back every time he was throwing up blood, prayed or chanted what felt like blessings and protection.

Amazon Davey reflecting the attack and help: “a spirit for adventure is very, very difficult to lose!”

All the bullets are still in Davey’s body. Biggest concern to the doctors in Lima is the bullets in his lung and heart. But what happened when the solo Amazon navigator spent 4 hours in a river boat with multiple bullet wounds?

Amazon Davey du Plessis update: The riddle of 4 hours in a river boat

He has bullets in his spine, face, neck, skull, arms, was left for dead, got up, ran for about 5 km to get help, saw people, tried to call for help but no sound came out because he had been shot in the neck. The people wanted money to help him; he had none.

Solo Davey du Plessis Amazon attack update: “horrendous to the worst degree”

The South African, Davey du Plessis, who is attempting to navigate the Amazon from source to sea on his own, has been shot in the jungle. The area is known for the operations by drug cartels.
