Hi amigo, I m quite sure everything will be great during your trip. It looks like I ll be stuck in Panama at least till next Sunday 16.08.09 because there is a boat that day, although it is expensive, almosto $ 800 dollars. See you in Ecuador for a couple of s.

Geez, is that really the cheapest boat to be found?
I'll be there in Sept I didn't really expect to spend that much though.
Where are you sailing from/to? on with who?

Thumbs up Panama to Cartagena

I just got to Cartagena this morning. I didn`t expect to pay more than 500 bucks neither but it turned out to be 750 dollars the usual price for you and your bike included. I sailed with Fritz on a catamaran. Almost three days visiting some islands and one and a half days sailing through the Caribean Sea. I still need to arrange the paperwork at customs but it looks like the prices are all lining at that level. I was riding for a little bit with an Irish guy and he flew his motorbike from Panama to Bogota for 630 dollars with Copa and 180 dollars for his flight with Aires. That was last week.

Good luck

Marco

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
