Finally going in the water.

Endorfin going back in the water

Endorfin gets her facelift

When Tara left us it was time to put Endorfin on the hard and give her a facelift. And seeing we were in Cartegena the capitol of facelifts, what better place to do it.Gil contracted a fellow called Flavite to do the work and he and his crew came in and stripped the hull and topsides regelcoated her and made her sparkle like a shiney new penny.While we were here a movie crew came in and shot a few scenes for a Columbian soap opera our boat is in the scenes we were not offered any acting jobs. After six weeks in a very dusty work yard it was time to get back in the water and continue on with our journey.

|Tara visit's to Columbia

Gilbert returned to Cartegena with our daughter Tara as a surprise for me. She spent two weeks of great weather on Endorfin. Tara got to explore the old city, go to the locals market (baserto) She played volley ball on the beach on Monday's Wednesday's and Friday's. Then we headed to the Rosario's. After a nice little day sail we anchored on the south side of Isla Rosario. One of the first things we did was take Tara snorkeling. There are plenty of wonderful coral formations around the islands here to explore. On one of our snorkeling ventures Tara and I followed Gil while he scubaed a coral wall. It is pretty neat following him and having his bubbles surrounding us as we snorkeled. We spent a few hours walking around the aviary on the large island. On an island on the north side of us ocean aquarium. They put on a spectacular dolphin show for us. We arrived for the early show on advise from our friends on Basjako. It got very crowded with Colombian tourists quickly and the aquarium featured rays,a nurse shark show turtles and a very large variety of fish . All too soon we had to head back to Cartegena so Tara wouldn't miss her flight home to very cold Canada. I hope that more of our family and friends will come for a visit with us on the Endorfin.
