The Aftermath of a Long Sail; Rest, Recovery & Repair in Cartagena | Episode 49

On this episode of WE|Sail, watch now, after a long 9 day sail from Honduras to Colombia we finally arrived in Cartagena and now the repairs are in order. While docked at the marina we take advantage of the stillness and get to work right away on the boat. She was in need of some much needed attention.

Right away, we cleaned her up from all the salt water splashing and then got into more than we hoped. After discovering the was watering entering the bilge, I had to clean out the hull that was full of saltwater and sand with all our perishables. Warren was straight to work with repairs to the rolling furler and remaking a washer spacer that broke off. In addition to some repairs, we needed to replace some line that were fringing.

After all the repairs and cleaning which included the smashed finger from a hatch closing, we had just enough time to rest up before our friends Lou and Steven on the Wolfhound arrived from Jamaica, followed closely by some longtime family friends who had flown in last minute to celebrate the New Year with us in the lively city of Cartagena.

Thanks for watching the Adventures of WE!
