LAND at Last - Arriving in COLOMBIA After a WILD Passage | Day 15
The final stretch to Colombia… and after everything this passage threw at us, the wind completely disappears.
After battling storms, big seas, a shredded headsail, and days offshore, we spend the entire night drifting slowly toward Cartagena at just 2–3 knots. If we’d had enough fuel, we could have arrived the night before — but instead we’re left floating offshore, eager to finally complete the passage and make landfall.
Luckily, our amazing friends come to the rescue, bringing fuel out to the entrance of the port so we can safely motor the final miles into the marina, step onto land for the first time in days, and finally celebrate making it to Colombia together.
This is the final episode of our passage from the USA to Colombia aboard Escapade 🇨🇴

⛵ Support / GoFundMe (HeadSail replacement):
After our headsail failed during this passage, a lot of you asked how you could help. We’ve set up a fundraiser to go directly toward replacing the sail and getting Escapade safely moving again.
