August 7-8th - 2010



The ship is silent and dark when I wake at 2am from the rolling.
Luke is at the wheel - just ahead is a major front heading our way. Soon we're engulfed in lightning and waves throwing us from side to side. The rain is intense only visible by the flashes of the lightning. This storm lasts the rest of the night till we finally pass the gates of the harbor and enter Cartehegna.
We touch land before noon. Sealegs makes the still earth alive -difficult to stand without holding on to something. A cling to a doorway as the british couple, alex and myself check in to a cheap hotel. Our pasports are ready to by picked up in the evening.
I've booked a bus ticket to Bogata tomorrow - starting a week long journey to Peru.
