santa marta




after a rough several hours with the strong winds, we made it safely into the wonderful new marina santa marta in santa marta of course. what a trip. Later we found out that the wind is called “la loca” and that we were very lucky to have rushed to get in, as for the next week that we were here, we had up to 40 knots of wind every day. this is close to shore. we can only imagine how it must have been out at sea. but being safely tied in the slip of a new marina, we enjoyed the city, and walking around, and specially meeting some of my family.















This stop had mixed feelings, as it is now a country where we have already stopped, meaning that our circumnavigation is close to being complete. a good feeling of accomplishment indeed, but a sad feeling to see that the round the world adventure will soon come to an end…
