Finally off to the San Blas

Hi everyone.

Well, seeing as i'm just about recovered, we're saying a long overdue goodbye to Cartegena and sailing to the San Blas. We really are this time. I'm serious.

The past couple of days Dad and Dylan have been cleaning up the boat, getting everything ready. We got a local to clean the bottom of the boat, and the lines as well, they get covered in a centimeter thick layer of barnacles after a while... not fun to pull on, they cut your hands!

The weather is going to be very nice, almost no wind and waves. Dr. Ambrad, who has been to the San Blas many times, has told us quite a bit about the islands, and where to get a few things.

We all really need to get into clear water and white, sandy beaches. The Doctor said that the swimming would help me heal, salt water is good for the wound.

Don't expect to hear from us for a while, the San Blas are very isolated islands, which is why we're going there :). We heard there is an internet cafe in porviner, so we might be able to post something there, just don't expect anything!

Adios,
Brett
