All boats between Panama and Colombia.
NEWS OF WEATHER OUTLOOK AND FORECASTS.
Monday, June 23 2014.
We ask for all vessels in the area, to send us any information that may be important for the SAFETY and PLEASURE of sailing.
***
OUR CONCLUSION :
* Similar weather conditions from last week.
Our recommendation is also similar :
* It seems like wednesday it will get worse.
* The trips from PANAMA to CARTAGENA will be hard and unpleasant for the guests on board.
We recommend changing plans and instead go to SAPZURRO and not go to CARTAGENA.
* From CARTAGENA to PANAMA we recommend set sail very early and leave shoreline with the first light of the day.
