Passage for Aruba to Bonaire, the 6th leg of our Eastbound passage from Panama to Trinidad. Fair weather passage, wind was 16-20 kt on the nose . #offshoresailing #sailing #bluewatersailing
Finally a weather window with less than 25 kts to take us from Cabo de la Vela to Aruba. A challenging passage as we have to round the Cape Horn of Colombia - Punta Gallinas. Due to the counter current, we have to stay close to the coastline, in the shallow waters. what is the biggest danger at sea? Hint: offshore sailors have it easy ;) #sailing #bluewatersailing
Two days of beating into 25 + kt and big confused seas is hard work. The passage from Santa Marta to Cabo de la vela took a bit longer than anticipated.
On our passage eastbound from Panama / Columbia, we cross the mighty Magdalena River on our way from Puerto Velero to Santa Marta . On arrival to Santa Marta, we are met by the Colombian Armada !
After one month in Cartagena, we sailed continue our eastbound passage. Cartagena is a beautiful town, but the water is perfect for barnacles to grow on boat. We usually sail a lots and grown has never been an issue, but one month sitting in the marina, we had 1 cm of growth . We βforgotβ to clean it before settling off from Cartagena and that was a big rookie mistake. Our boat speed was 1-1.5 kt less that usual, so that makes day run 25-35 shorter! Luckily, we have Silic One anti foul paint , and cleaning the bottom was easy, but took time as I had to skindive / snorkel. Took about 6 hours, didnβt complete the whole keel . #sailing #caribbean #silicone #rookiemistakes
Arriving at Puerto Velero - 50 Nm north of Cartagena. Windy overnight passage with confused seas. The Cartagena - Puerto passage is the first step of our eastbound passage to Trinidad. #offshoresailing #sailboat #caribbean
After a wonderful month in Colombia, we continue our Eastbound passage from Panama to the ABC islands and onwards to Trinidad. A tough passage against the trade winds Alans current. #bluewatersailing #offshoresailing #sailing
