To traverse the el Mar Caribe brings back the many images of the pirate days. Life on the boat was more simple. The goal was to get from point A to point B and experience what lies between. In modern times, the experience or journey has been forgotten, and in so doing, a depressed existence ensues. The ocean will always be humbling, and often reminds the sailor that the hard times will be the most rewarding.
In the future there will be just as much folk tale surrounding the Caribbean as in centuries past, as the area is still very well trafficked by all sorts of people with varying businesses from all walks of life. Simply put, it is the connecting point between the Americas and its landmasses, the ports have and will always be modes of transport.
To get from Colombia to Panama, one must travel over sea or by air, as the land is not navigable. Thus, anyone with true pirate spirit will choose the former option. This means a few nights on a boat, a bit of open ocean and a stop in the San Blas archipelago. Often people describe these islands as a picture of paradise, with turquoise water and coral reefs. Truly something to experience.
