My Powerbook and Satan...

have been conspiring against me. This little machine was seriously freaking out, so I have been trying to sort this out. I just performed a clean install blah blah blah...

I will be back in action as soon as I finish this 400mb download from Adobe, yes I actually purchased Photoshop for once.

Only 18 hours to go until completion.

On the Street in Medellín, Colombia.

Please, Do Not Feed the Water Closet.

Cartagena, Colombia.

Okay, so maybe it was not "near death" afterall...

but it was certainly fascinating. 14 travelers from all over the world chartered a 52ft Finnish sailboat captained by a cool Dane and his lovely Venezuelan 1st mate. We left the small port of Portobelo, Panama for Cartagena, Colombia smiling and bright, well fed and with no idea of what to really expect. To read about what went down over the course of those 5 days check out Megan's travelogue.

Looking back, I would not trade this experience for anything. We met some great people, and learned a little about the sailing life as well.

Sailing, near death experiences, and beauty.

So, I have not posted in awhile. Megan got waaaay behind in her blog, and I'm waiting for her to catch up. My next post will be from our sailing adventure from Panama to Colombia, which was a wild time. I wanted to link to her post about this because she will convey the roller coaster of emotions, good times, and fear that we experienced so much better than I could. So once she gets back up to speed, and she is working like mad to do this, I will start to post again. It should be very soon, like a day or two.

Is anybody even looking at this thing? Let me know who is out there, Im curious.

Around the Darien Gap, by sailboat.

Since there are no busses, cars, anything, through the Darién Gap, we have to either fly or boat it. So we found us a Danish sea captain with a 52ft sailboat to take us to Cartagena, Colombia from Colón, Panama. We set sail tomorrow and we will be out of touch for about a week and hopefully no more.

So, till then...


Strong winds and calm seas.
