91) Columbia

Club de Pesca Marina

Cartagena, Columbia
10° 24.940 N 75° 32.699 W


Uhm, a monkey.    
      Beautiful, brand new bathroom/shower.
On my way to the shower this morning I passed one of the local workers on the dock and he had his pet monkey with him on a leash.  He was a screecher all by himself tied to the tree.  But, a cute little screeching monkey.

After taking on fuel and coffee and rum from the little shop on the dock we were on our way.  It was overcast and not a very bright day.  To get out of this bay back out to the open ocean we have to retrace our path in and it takes about an hour to get out.  Right at the mouth of the bay there were several small wooden kayaks and canoes with guys trying to sell fruits and vegetables and trinkets to the small boats coming and going.  The first few hours of this passage were smooth and nice but then turned miserable.  We were in 8-12’ seas and I saw several 12-15’ waves go under us.  This passage was kinda miserable since it rolled so much.  And, we motored the whole way.
