It is now 20:30 and we are underway from Isla Providencia to Isla San Andres. We had planned to sail to Colon, Panama direclty, however the winds are now relative low and the seas are still high, left overs from a week breezy winds. Quite uncomfortable really as there is not enough wind to keep steady pressure in the sails, so the boat is thrown around with us inside. Auke is badly seasick and as such sleeeps with his head in a bucket more or less, as he did not want to take his seasickness drops (Dramanin) prior departure. It is hard to see these kids being seasick and nothing you can do for them. I have been seasick many times in my life, so I know very good how he feels, and I know that it is not a happy feeling. Kids can be so stuborn. This is now the second time, somehow he got it in his head that these seasickness drops were not for him, even while he has been taking them for 6 months now fwith great succes against sea sickness. So we will make a stop in Isla Sa n Andres, we will arrive there around 02:00 in the morning (it is now 21:00). There we want to wait a day for the seas to come down or perhaps we wait about three days as according the grib files winds will turn North over this part of the Caribean, which suits us well to head for Colon in Panama. To head now to Colon in Panama is close hauled (apparent wind) in theses lumpy seas, not fun. We had to leave Isla Providencia as we run out of water and there is little potable water to get on the island. We have a watermaker ordered a few weeks ago that we will pick up and install in Panama. This event of runnig out of water while at Isla Providencia was a good confrimation for us that we really want to have a watermaker on board, despite the high cost. We do not want to be pressured to depart beacuase of water shortage. We really liked Isla Providencia and could have certainly stayed more two weeks was it not for the potable water. Great anchorage, great beaches and reef s and great local people around.

So tonight at anchor at San Andres.

All well with boat and crew (except for Auke who is at this very moment staring at the bottom of his bucket again)
