Sailing the High Seas - Panama to Columbia

---

Panama to Columbia

There is no roads between Panama and Columbia(South America). So the only way to get there is to fly or a very few who want a little more adventure decide to sail over to Cartagena, Columbia. Its a 5 day sail. Five of us plus the captain. The first couple days jumping around islands in the San Blas coast of Panama and then 48+ hour sail to Cartagena. The First couple days where good. The sail from the San Blas to Cartagena is a different story. Large waves and a small boat does not work with me. 48hours of being tossed around a boat did wonders to my digestive system. I had a very cleansing few days. Also I could not sleep during any of that crossing. We where all glad to get to Cartagena and stand on solid ground, our bodies where still rocking back and forth for a few more days.

All is well

You're nuts!
You guys are nuts. Too adventurous for me. My idea of adventure is driving in Atlanta at rush hour in my Malibu. -air conditioned-- leather seats-- you know- all the trappings of civilization. "Cute" little 40 footer, tho, --- it would do well in the Great Lakes, I am sure. NOT THE OCEAN!!!!!!!!! I am a Spanish teacher and we are studying Molas-- artwork from the Kuna Indians. But I am sure you know what I am talking about. I am going to show these photos to my students. Good thing we have some people that are willing to venture out-- gives me stuff to talk about! ¡Gracias!

Hitchin a ride...
Wondering if anyone has any info on hopping a board a sail boat, possibly swap a helping hand for a free ride from Panama to Columbia. Any word of mouth, websites whatever, it all helps!
