We left Cartagena on Sunday morning, 10th January, and had an easy sail to Cholon about 20m to the south. The weather was overcast (not forecasted) and it was a challenge to feel our way into the anchorage through the reefs outside. It was nice to be anchored again in clean water and we immediately had a swim over the side after dropping anchor.
We stayed in Cholon until 15th and enjoyed the pretty and peaceful anchorage. The first few days were spent cleaning the growth (from Cartagena) from the bottom of the boat and cleaning the dinghy bottom. It was amazing the rate of barnacle growth in that had occurred from the warm dirty water in Cartagena. We bought seven crayfish for $18 from a local fisherman. Mmm..

On Friday 15th January we motored out of Cholon for the 2hr trip to the Rosario Islands. This was an easy trip with no wind so we could easily see the reefs and find our way into the anchorage. Narid was there and we anchored close by. Jupiter’s Smile (IP370) and Boree came in to the anchorage later. The water was crystal clear and we enjoyed a swim and some good relaxing time. We visited the “Avery” which is well known and a big surprise as the birds are both numerous and from all over the world. We also walked through the island to the village. The locals are very poor but very friendly.
