Old town is walled off from the rest of the city with towering stone walls. Inside there are several plazas, all with different statues. The buildings are very old and the streets are narrow. If you have been to New Orleans, it is a whole town similar to Bourbon Street only many many streets and huge squares and plazas. The people are very friendly - and there is a huge cruiser community there. The water in the anchorage is "interesting" one would not swim there. The rest of Cartagena is like any big city - there is a waterfront area with big hotels and the inner city with lots of traffic - there is a huge airconditioned mall with a very modern movie theater - it was so hot in the late afternoon and we could not swim so several times we went to see a movie and then go for drinks and dinner in old town. We planned to stay in Cartagena for 4 or 5 days and ended up there for about 4 weeks. Then on to the San Blas Islands.Liz and Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02892888989954252739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241475716310599913.post-86620839518273615992010-05-08T09:25:00.013-04:002010-05-08T09:51:58.054-04:00Cartagena - What a great City<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKyW3eKzEQy15GsMGiAuCdDrKP4j2ashJYjQiOmNn8ch5jGX2undO9Zt4KAIsf8dKBbCOWzQHrz1bPIp1Qqj-84CFHOifxqr0zCHTn5Hy43frBtmBAWSvGWr65i975auzafbiNFBXk83Fm/s1600/sunsetcartagena.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Liquid Courage</div><div align="center">brought over a bottle of Don Julio tequila </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><br /><br /><br />We really enjoyed Bonaire. We met a lot of nice people, celebrated Thanksgiving, Liz's birthday, Christmas and New Years. It is a great place and the water is clear and warm.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We left Bonaire the week after New Years and headed back to Curacao to provision for the San Blas Islands. There is not much in the way of grocery stores in the San Blas. We rented a car and provisioned like mad - food, wine and booze.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />After waiting for a good weather window we headed for Aruba. Aruba is a great place if you are staying in a big hotel. It is not so fun if you are staying on a small boat. The ride in our little dinghy from the anchorage to the dinghy dock was death defying and wet. nuff said. We did enjoy Aruba tho.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We were in Aruba for about 10 days when we got the all important weather window to make the dreaded passage to Cartagena, Columbia. This is listed as one of the 5 worst passages in the world - the waves and wind can be huge. So, with butterflies, our convoy including Makai and Liquid Courage headed into the big blue sea. It is around 400 and some odd miles to Cartagena. We had 25 to 30 knots of breeze and 8' seas when we left Aruba. By nightfall the wind and seas had died way down and we actually had to motor sail. We had such a benign trip, we motor sailed at least half of the way. Oh well! We passed the also dreaded Rio Magdalena which can be quite nasty with logs and debris floating down the river from inland. We only knew we were there because the water turned brown. Ho Hum! We stopped in a bay called Punta Hermosa and anchored for the night so we would sail into Cartagena in daylight. We did indeed sail into Cartagena in day light and what a beautiful city. There is just an energy in the air - we could feel it in the anchorage. Several boats that we had met along the way were here and High Five and Solange came over to welcome us and we ended up feeling very welcomed!<br /></div></div></div>Liz and Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02892888989954252739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241475716310599913.post-69884484889216722772010-02-17T15:05:00.004-04:002010-02-17T15:10:39.326-04:00More about Bonaire<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPyQxp4Wl2D9vxA_Vq24uOT6x639SQpXtvdQ4xVmya49TedMJR8nlCY033sOygdyzp04VfTjXtZf0xtHu-vcr_mOTcBjmsSJ8fi3cGnIJRPA20s9dbiedtLKXS8ry-IaRvNDGcMHlIIiYq/s1600-h/3divers.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439291079873555970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPyQxp4Wl2D9vxA_Vq24uOT6x639SQpXtvdQ4xVmya49TedMJR8nlCY033sOygdyzp04VfTjXtZf0xtHu-vcr_mOTcBjmsSJ8fi3cGnIJRPA20s9dbiedtLKXS8ry-IaRvNDGcMHlIIiYq/s320/3divers.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>Liz and Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02892888989954252739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241475716310599913.post-85317503137461672222010-02-17T12:26:00.002-04:002010-02-17T12:36:05.699-04:00New Year's EveWe spent New Year's Eve in Bonaire - we went out to dinner with several other cruisers at Paradise Moon - one of our favorite places. We dinghied back to the boat around 10:30 pm and hung out. At midnight there was a fireworks display that was unreal. We have never seen anything like it. The islands is like a wide horseshoe and from one end to the other there were about 10 different displays of fireworks that were even better than Disneyland's. We did not know where to look - of course, there was lots of music coming from shore. We took the bean bag pillows and went up to the trampoline and just watched in awe. It was really something.Liz and Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02892888989954252739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241475716310599913.post-11941638094780223052009-12-12T16:58:00.002-04:002009-12-12T17:07:59.411-04:00TurtlesWe are still in Bonaire - we have been having alot of fun and doing alot of snorkeling. We have met some really nice people. Red, on Katana, volunteers for the Turtle Conversancy and she was able to set up a trip for 3 of us cruising ladies to go with the head guy, to see if a nest was ready. We walked all around the island looking for nests and found one that was ready. We dug down and uncovered the babies. So exciting - they were just waking up. We got them started on their way to the sea. When they would go the wrong way or flip on their backs we would pick them up and help them. When they get to the coral it is very difficult for them - they pile up on one another and flip upside down - again we would help them. Then when they reach the surf line - they really get flipped around. We counted 148 babies - it was one of the most exciting things I have ever done.Liz and Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02892888989954252739noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7241475716310599913.post-73158467122165142142009-12-12T16:46:00.009-04:002009-12-12T16:58:39.254-04:00Baby Turtles<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwvuBdtnX8y_3brGR9mS-QR1iA53OsoDFSxjQE1_wvFPSevRrGM6UTsEJQmC05zmuAEDpa8r7Dg135G9Zg2PfXBFEUuDqQ6MR_8gpEF7nzQP9GkgB0MucAaBPeC-G2mRMva2cIFlpocqB9/s1600-h/PC080050.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Now it is January of 2008. Here is a quick update of our travels in the last 8 months.<br /><br />We have been traveling off and on with several boats - Fred & Kathy on Makai, Steve & Anne on Fine Line, Jim & Roxanne on Dawn Dancer and Dan, Carla, Tess and Tristan on Alegria. We all are heading South down the Eastern Caribbean to Grenada where we will spend the hurricane season - July thru November. We go our own way and then meet up at the next island or the one after. We have met tons of great people on all different kinds of boats from many different countries. It is really fun after a long sail to come into a new harbour and have people you know already there. There are some pretty fun reunions.<br /><div align="center"><br /><br />Woodys Bar, St. John USVI</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296428073439511842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRib62-ffeHXVZENw9ebCs95n3nc14TBZBrc39ABSwDZmRrQE89X2rT6daniPbovD1GwDTq6MYVjWDnNPeQPBUZsD9Q_ClV-8Q_wDMRFpltyLIXKbMvf8hbxtge68wG_2nBfbeyCvVhJ77/s320/P5120229.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div align="center">Cane Garden Bay, BVI</div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296435790673692178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 288px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOscI-LilU4Kz8KRmvIlRJsQ2Ks4PNuzawKwRIEZWpK2goQj2-eI5UpxaWci6l7FJI1ectc4esWRovUndmoFhdXy8h6-_Nb1M0JNbGKZ2Bu1fxcuPakUk21FjLuWozM7s2M6YxjxfhfSl5/s320/Myett's+Rest+Tortola+5-5-08+3+copy.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">The dinghies await the snorkelers, Tobago Cays - see - it is not always drinking and dancing!
