Aruba to Colombia

Carolina

Crew of 5! Left Aruba and headed to Santa Marta! Started off with champagne sailing but quickly the waves grew. First night was intense, with waves crashing on the cockpit and lightning storms. Second night was even more intense 😅 harnesses and lifejackets, 36 knots of wind - this crossing was living up to its gnarly reputation. We kept sails up the entire way. Spotted rough tooth dolphins. And our entrance into Santa Marta was very on brand, gnarly weather but we finally made it only to realise our anchor wasn’t working so tied up to the fuel dock. Next day we cleaned the boat and proceeded to explore Colombia - Minca, Tayrona national park etc. for a glorious week.
