We had a rip roaring passage to Puerto Valero (an anchorage enroute to Cartagena) but it wasn’t without its dramas! On the approach to where Rio Magdalena runs into the sea at Barranquilla, there is an astonishing visible dividing line of muddy river water and bright blue sea. The wind was up and we were […]
