2/20/10 to 2/27/10
Our plans to depart Cartagena for the San Blas on the 19th were delayed when our friend, Craig (S/V Salida), discovered a serious crack in one of their fuel tanks. As they waited for a new tank to be fabricated, we headed to the Rosarios Islands, 20 miles southwest of Cartagena. We spent the next 5 days washing the boat (inside & out), making water, and removing barnacles from our propellers, anchor chain & bridle.

We returned to Cartagena on the 25th, staying just long enough to do laundry & top up provisions. On the 27th, we’ll sail back to the Rosarios (to clean the boat again), then continue west to the remote islands of the San Blas (Panama) & the home the Kuna Indians.

We expect our next update to this website to be some time in May when we get to Boca del Toras, Panama. Until then, we wish you fair winds & following seas.
