A few more notes on Santa Marta…
Many of our boats were “dressed” while at Marina Santa Marta as there were many photos taken for press and the marina itself. We met David and Thomas, two nice Irish lads from Belfast. They were traveling on land through South America and looking for a lift to Panama. We would have loved to have offered a ride but it’s way too complicated to add and remove crew from your manifest. Hope they made it to Panama!

At anchor in Puerto Velero
The passage from Santa Marta was about 200 miles. Many of us anchored part way through for the night in Puerto Valero, a large bay with plenty of anchor space. We arrived just before sunset and left at dawn, never having gone ashore.
