Colegas, aquí les pongo el contexto:
Las operaciones de descarga fueron reanudadas el mismo día 16 hasta el 10/4/2004 en el turno de 00:00 a 10:10 horas en que la nave zarpa con destino a Pinac, ubicada a 125 millas de Iquitos, en previsión a la vaciante del Río Amazonas.
Gracias por su tiempo.

receding water
Water in rivers rises and falls according to wet and dry seasons, which are quite dramatic in the Amazon.
Iquitos is 1500 miles from the sea and the tidal action in the river extends only for about 160 miles, making 'ebb tide' inconceivable.
