Synopsis
For the first time in 59º North’s history, we’ll touch the shores of South America! From the islands of the Eastern Caribbean, we’ll sail west and downwind, angling ever further south towards our rendezvous with the Panama Canal and the gateway to the Pacific Ocean. We’ll stop in Colombia, a once off-limits South American country that in the past couple decadehas opened its coast to cruisers on their way west!
NOTE
We now reserve two spots for women on all of our passages! Learn more here.
The Route
Expected Weather Pattern
Tropical downwind Trade Wind sailing at its finest! We’ll be traversing the entirety of the Caribbean Sea and can expect typical Trade Wind sailing — hot sunshine and wind, interspersed with squalls and rain showers. As we approach the Colombian coast, expect the Trades to strengthen to near-gale-force as they funnel along the mountainous coastline.
