After a few days in Santa Marta & a fair bit of site seeing we set off with 25 other OCC boats for Cartegena. However we are missing a crew member. Christine flew off, literally, to see a friend inland. She'll be joining us in a few days in Cartegena.
Despite only have 3 people on board we still managed to get here :-) After a slow start with no wind & a sloppy sea, the wind filled in & we had a great sail. Crossing the mouth of the river at Barranquilla was very interesting. The sea changed colour from Blue to green/brown where the river flowed out. The change was a sharp line in the sea. Pretty cooool.

Now we are anchored in Puerto Valero with 25 other boats settling down for Spag Bol & a film.



Our current position in Columbia 10:55.398N 075:02.292W
