Western Lemon Cays

19 March 2012 | San Blas Islands
Lesley
Well we have made it to San Blas after two nights at sea from Santa Marta Columbia, This part of the journey was the one I wasn't looking forward to, Big seas and strong winds, We had about 41 knots and 5 meter waves, IT wasn't very fun at all, James and Martin did all the night watches, I was a bit scared to be honest I would sit in the cockpit on my own making noises as we speed down each wave !
Poor Nakesa nearly lots there dinghy , there epirb went in the sea and they lost a few pieces of safety equipment ! They didn't even get a phone call from falmouth coastguard until the next day to see if every thing was oK ? ?

We had a great experience in Columbia, We took a road trip to Cartegena for a couple of days and stayed in a lovely Hotel Casa Gloria it was such a beautiful place to visit, I would recommend it to anyone. We were going to sail there but with all the checking in and out and custom fees, we decided against it. Martin has sadly left us , he managed to get to Panama via a little motor boat in the san blas so hopefully he has made his way home ?? We hope to hear from him soon x
