What is The Black Nile : One Man's Amazing Journey Through Peace and War on the World's Longest River about?

Solving their first problem, obtaining a boat, the duo discover that their craft is less than seaworthy; as its woes mount, Morrison merrily narrates landings at riverside villages and bargaining for food and accommodations.
