hello again from Crap Natico, Cartagena, Colombia....
We are sitting at anchor (had to move two times now) in the worst weather I can remember!!!!!!!! I've never seen rain come down so hard!!!!! The winds have been in the 30-40 or more!!!! Mother-Nature just doesn't want us to have anymore fun on this trip! :(
We were dragging lastnight around 7pm right towards a megayacht, so of course up goes our anchor and powering around the anchorage looking for a spot! It seams every boat in the local 100 miles decided to take a shelter in this bay!
Sorry about the lack of updates, but my NEW satphone antenna broke the other day! ugh!!!!!!! and there is no overhead cover at the "marina" to use the internet... Trying to keep the computer dry and powered up is a MAJOR CHALLENGE here!!!
We have been told the weather is going to suck for the next week and heading to Panama in not advisable until the trade winds come back. Apparently there is a major Low pressure system up in the GOM sucking all our trade winds and giving us a good douching!!!!!!!!!!
I think somebody prayed wayyyyy tooooo much for wind...... :(
cheers from the soggy three amigos
