March 2011:THINGS ARE STILL STUCK ON THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE CLUB HOUSE. MEANWHILE WE ARE IMPROVING OUR
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS ACKNOWLEDGING THE NEEDS OF SOME OF THE LARGER
VESSELS VISITING. We have also been laying many new moorings with the object of providing better access to berths.
Our facilities continue to provide the basics; Secure docks(including dinghy dock for those anchored), garbage
diposal, toilets, basic showers, fresh water, internet, and 110/220 v
electrical supply. Sundays pot Lucks and flea markets are regular
events.

We are very
impressed with the quality of these dinghies, evidence of stringent quality control.
This year AB are holding a stock of dinghies especially to assist
sailers visiting Cartagena. So for the more popular models delivery
should be about 2 weeks from order (there is a modest paper
trail!)

The
Club Naútico is located in one of the best residential
barrios only 10 minutes stroll from the WORLD HERITAGE
SITE CITY CENTER. Take a taxi and it will cost less
than $3.00US. Cartagena remains a safe and secure destination
where cruisers can relax while sightseeing and organizing
work for their craft. Labor rates are very low at the
semi skilled level. Electronics engineers are available
for around $15US per hour.
Work starts on a major rebuild expected to be completed by end 2010

Boats
are docked med style with the aditional security off
substantial moorings. The majority of our slips will accommodate 7 foot draft vessels.
Additionally the new dock extensions there will be 10 additional slips providing berths
for vessels between 8 and 12 feet draft.The bay is patrolled regularly
by the Coast Guard. The new docks look to be quite an improvement!

The
Coast Guard is competent and ready to assist and have a very good
reputation for providing assistance beyond their call of duty.
The Port of Colombia is one of the 3 major commercial ports in Colombia.
It also serves as the headquarters for the Colombian Atlantic Armada.
Presidential visits to Cartagena are frequent; testimony
to both its history and security.
Three new dock extensions are very nearly completed

The
people of the coast, 'Costeños', are warm and welcoming. They will be
delighted to see new faces. You will find they are quite open at all
social levels so making new and interesting friends outside the
cruising fraternity should become part of your 'Cartagena experience'.
Meanwhile back at the 'ranch' we will soon be back to normal with
cruiser's going about their daily business (this photo was taken 4
years ago and the same atmosphere should return as soon as we have completed the Club House reconstruction).
