Arrived in Cartagena today. Made the ocean crossing around the Darrien Gap. The boat, the Stahlratte, is a 120 year old vessel that was a fishing platform for 90 years, a hippie commune for 10 years, a Green Peace interceptor ship for a while, and now takes back packers and adventure motorcyclists around the Gap. As of now, there is no other way through, around or over.
The boat was a bit of fun, we parked and dove for lobsters, went fishing, had a bonfire, and played in the sun and sand for a while. My bike is still in Colombian customs, and to be honest, I am looking forward to getting back on it.
