As we keep going on our journey from Curaçao to Puerto San Jose, our crew finally hit the infamous Panama Canal!

Read on to see what Capt. Jono had to say about this part of the voyage below!

“Transiting the Panama Canal:
Leaving Cartagena at 6:00 PM, we ran 260 miles through the night and into the following afternoon, arriving at the Marina in Colón, Panama. After two days of preparation, we received our slot for the Panama Canal transit—a seamless 9-hour passage through the locks from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, anchoring at Marina La Playita to rest.”

Part 2!

Keeping on strong in their adventure, the boys headed on down towards Colombia next.

Capt. Jono recounts this leg of the journey for us here:

“Leaving Aruba, we set a course for Santa Marta,
Colombia—a 280-mile leg across the Atlantic. Running in typical Caribbean conditions with 19 to 20-knot winds and building seas, she proved herself immediately: soft-riding, economical, and solid, burning just 430 gallons over 13 hours of steady running.
After a quick, seamless check-in with help from local friends at Marina Santa Marta, we pushed 150 miles onward to Cartagena. Crossing the notorious Rio Magdalena plume brought heavy choppy seas, but she handled it with ease. We tied up at Club Nâutico de Cartagena to prepare for the overnight push across the Caribbean Sea to Panama.”

Last week we made the exciting announcement about our 11th addition to our fleet, La Hechicera! Like all of our boats, we personally oversaw the transfer from her previous home to her new one with us in Puerto San Jose.

A voyage historically undertaken by our Jefe, Captain David Salazar himself, this time our Capt. Jono from The Ho**er kept his spirit alive and thriving on this expedition.

Come along with us in this mini series as we document La Hechicera’s massive 1700+ mile journey from Curaçao to Guatemala!

First up—Curaçao to Aruba:
“On August 20th, we flew into Curaçao to meet Jens and begin initial preparations. Our first leg was a short 70-mile shake-down run to Aruba to test the vessel’s systems and sea keeping. We docked at the historic Varadero Marina and held up for a couple of days to let a weather window pass. This gave us the perfect opportunity to get intimately familiar with the boat, stock up on fuel, provisions, and ensure everything was set for comfortable passage-making.”
