Hey that's nice of you.
Well I too was thinking of taking the ferry, which would be when you arrive. However I've not heard back from Fritz about availability, so I'm still looking for other options between 16th June and 31st July.

Fritz did get back to me in the end, but was uncertain about his departure date.
I had already given up on that transport, so managed to find a way to stay in Colombia until the stahlratte leaves on 31st July, though of course that date might run aground too, since I read on the captains log they have major engine trouble. Fingers crossed.
I'll be renting an apartment in Barranquilla when you arrive, so if you pass my way we can meetup, maybe I'll have a spare room if you need.

Hey, good luck man, and report back as I'm sure others will be interested to know how it went.
My plans changed a bit, I'm not going to be around Riohacha in about 1 week, then onto Santa Marta/Barranquilla beginning of July.

So San blas ferry has some troubles that's why they didn't leave yet. I got email telling me it will be next day and then the next day and so on. So I decided spontaneous to go on a sailboat with two other bikers. We did the San blas cruse which was really nice but also bumpy. Rough sea. I am in Cartagena now. For some more days. Not sure where to go after.
