circumnavigators, officially!

having come back to the same particular point on earth or port after having crossed all the meridians and the equator at least twice, we have now become circumnavigators. cartagena became our chosen port. we came here first after coming down from the bahamas and jamaica back in the spring of 2009, and now we are back here again almost three years later. we feel pretty good and proud about the achievement. we sailed around the world!! with no incidents and only amazing experiences.., and one only not so wonderful but certainly something we will never forget, which was the entire convoy experience and the pirate waters in the indian ocean.

we would relive every single second of this experience over and over again… every day of our adventure was and felt like the best day of our lives. the circumnavigation lasted 2 years and 10 months; that is sailing alone; as we started probably a whole year before to fix the boat back in florida. so, really our whole plan and crazy and wonderful story really started back at the end of 2007 in a comfy apartment in very urban miami ….. and now, after four years of not so frequent fresh water showers and rather humid beds in all sorts of exotic places, we finish in the amazing city of cartagena. a fabulous place to call port for puerto seguro and close enough to travel back and forth from our other home in florida.
