We eventualy got going from Cartagena on Thur late afternoom as the port had been closed for some reason. When we left the shelter of the port the wind picked up to 30 knots and the sea was huge and rough, it was kind of exiting to start with but then it was necessary to visit the rail a few times, no tigers left in the Caribean, shot them all. We made really good time and caught up the time lost in port, arrived in San Blas islands on Sun morning. The sea was calm, the sun was shining, and there are about 360 islands in about 250km, they are your typical tropical island, white beaches, palm trees and clear blue seas, stunning, Iwas very fortunate to have visited such a beatifull place. We arrived in Colon yesterday evening, unloaded and heard the news about Mexico and other places, yea, it does not sound good at all. I will get hold of Karen Carter and try to find out the situation there, as I am about to start heading that way. If it is really bad I will probably have to fly to Miami and go on from there, but it will be sad to miss out Central America. Thanks for all the input, the bike survived better than I did, I have shot a fair amount of video and will be moving on tomorrow. More later, Adios.
