Let's go Cartagena!

One last beer in Santa Marta before departure tomorrow morning. We have only 110 miles to go but we still have the roughest part of this passage left, the outflow of the Magdalena river that I mentioned a couple weeks ago. It's been reasonably quiet, wind wise, the last few days and it's supposed to remain so tomorrow as well so we're hoping for a smooth passage. It isn't recommended to enter the shipping lane/Boca Chica during nighttime so we're planning on making a one night stop somewhere on the way and then arrive in Cartagena on Saturday. Just hoping the Yacht Club still has a slip available for us, we've heard it's full in the whole city...

Btw I really like how this blogg has turned more practical than just posing pictures in beautiful landscapes. No offence!

If you have the time, stop by TolĂș (west of Cartagena) during All Saint's Week (La Semana Santa). If you can dock or tie up near all the better because there are ZERO rooms available. It's where much of Colombia goes for the celebration.

There are a number of amazing islands off the coast as well (I think Archipielago de San Bernardo).
