Colombia
The first leg of our journey takes us across the Caribbean Sea to Santa Marta, Colombia. The leg is about 815 nautical miles and will take 4-6 days. This will be a good shakedown leg for our adventure. It’s likely going to be one of the “windier” legs; but with the trade winds it should be all down wind.
Santa Marta is the oldest city in Colombia. It’s fringed by beaches and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range. In addition to relaxing, snorkeling and reprovisioning, we hope to explore the ruins in the mangrove forests of Tayrona National Park.
