PANAMA
After a few months in Marina Shelter Bay to wait for the end of the hurricane season, Wahkuna and her crew decided that it was time to go. We were sad to leave as Dad, Mum and I had had a great time in MSB, making friends, sharing potlucks and being some of the residential musicians of the marina.

Après plusieurs mois dans la Marina Shelter Bay à attendre la fin de la saison des cyclones, il était de nouveau temps pour Wahkuna et son équipage de reprendre la mer. Nous étions bien tristes de partir surtout après nous être fait tant d’amis et d’avoir fait partie du groupe de musiciens de la marina.

Después de varios meses en Marina Shelter Bay esperando el fin de la temporada de los huracanes, ya era de nuevo tiempo de irnos. Claro que fuimos tristes de irnos después de tener amigos y tocar musica cada sábado para los cruseros de la marina.

PORTOBELLO
While in Shelter Bay, we took Wahkuna to the nearest port Portobello, where we stayed for a few days and enjoyed the historical site and colorful people.

Lors de notre séjour à Shelter Bay, nous sommes allés visiter le village historique de Portobello où nous avons séjourné pendant une semaine à la découverte de la ville et la rencontre de ses habitants colorés.

Arriving in Cartagena
The passage between Colon and Cartagena was for the most part windless and very roly and we used a lot more diesel than expect so we had to stop to Cartagena in Colombia to refuel. It gave us the opportunity to stay a few days in the beautiful city of Cartagena and enjoy sightseeing.

La traversée entre Colon et Cartagena fut souvent sans vent mais avec beaucoup de houle. Par conséquent nous avons dû nous arrêter à Cartagena pour refaire le plein de diesel. Nous en avons profité pour découvrir la magnifique ville de Cartagena et jouer aux touristes.

Durante el viaje entre Colon y Cartagena no tuvimos mucho viento pero muchas olas. Usamos el motor más que pensabamos y entonces paramos para recargar diesel en la cuidad de Cartagena, Colombia. Aprovechamos de estar en Cartagena para descubrir esta cuidad tan bonita.

What a wonderful photo’s Delphine and Robert and Guero!!! Looks like you have a great life and opportunities to see so many wonderful places in the world. We are all well here. Summer is still in Holland and works as a nanny. Will be back in August, or earlier if she does not like it. Minouk and Danny are having fun at work and Minouk does the odd show. Michael and family are going to move to Dublin in July. All the travelling is getting too much for Mike. They are very sorry that they have to leave Vancouver but after 6 years Mike is finished flying and then they will go back to either Vancouver or NZ. Ok Delphientje have great trips and we will follow your stories. Lots of love for you two from Meinhard and me!! 😘😘❤️

Hello Monique, So good to hear from you. We are now in Haiti where we are getting the boat fixed. Wait for the next installment of my blog, not as fun as the other one. We had a terrible crossing from Colombia to Jamaica and Wahkuna suffered quite a bit. I tried to take some photos during the crossing but it was difficult.
Glad to hear all is OK with everybody in New Zealand and Europe. Michael is going to be our neighbor, we might go and see him and sure, you will have to come to Ireland to see him as well and we can see each other!!!!! Bisous to you and Meinhard

Hello Anne,
So good to hear from you. We are in Haiti for a while (hopefully not too long) for a few repairs on the boat. We have had to push back our departure from the Caribbeans until May because of the repairs. It is OK as it gives us more time to make it to St Thomas and then a better weather window to make it to Belfast ( not as cold we hope). We are certainly looking forward to seeing you this summer and catching up with all the craic.
Lots of love to the two of you from the three of us.
Delphine, Robert and Guero
