Expedition to Colombia's Northern Border

June 8-18, 2007

International Cruisers Welcome!

Sailboats are preparing in Cartagena for the start June 8, 2007 of a marine expedition which will take the participants from Cartagena to the islands and cays that mark the northern borders of Colombia; posessions that extend almost to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. This will be the 6th edition of Morgan's Run, a blue-water cruise/rally that traditionally sails from Cartagena to the Colombian islands of San Andres and Old Providence located 150 miles east of the coast of Nicaragua.

Leaving on the 8th of June and the morning of the 9th, first landfall will be at Bajo Nuevo, 373 miles to the NNW, which marks the northernmost border of Colombia. Arrival will be on the morning of the 11th. After two days of diving and relaxation the fleet will leave in two groups for the next stop, Serrana, 85 miles to the SW, arriving on the morning of the 14th. On Friday June 15 the fleet will leave for Low Cay located 9 miles to the north of Old Providence Island, arriving the morning of the 16th, and that afternoon will sail on to the safe harbor of Old Providence/ Santa Catalina. Sunday the 17th of June in Providence and Santa Catalina we will have a celebration marking the close of Morgan's Run 2007.

From this point on the participants are free to proceed onwards to San Andres and points south and west such as Bocas del Toro, Colon, and the San Blas as their time permits.

Foreign cruisers in the area at this time are welcome to join this expedition of Cartagena boats.
