- How my ship with a draft of 8ft got towed over the 6ft deep sandbank.
I had heard many good stories about the Rio dulce over the years, which had made me very curious. I knew however that my vessels draft would not make it possible to enter the river. Getting closer to Guatemala I started meeting people who had visited Rio Dulce. They told me that there are professionals who help large ships enter the Rio Dulce throughout the entire year. After contacting agents and marinas I was convinced that my draft and a UKC of -2ft would be no problem at all. The plan was to enter the river by the help of other boats. Even though I was still very nervous I had decided to go for it. Was that a good idea?
Wow you are living my dream
Super cool video!! We enjoyed it here in Guadeloupe, cheers
I found you through Captain Rick... You are an amazing woman an u inspire me. I want to find a way to get out to sea an take my autistic son with me. He loves the Ocean so much . It's his favorite thing. He knows everything about it....Thanks for sharing ur journey!!!

Go you! Great to see you living your dream.
Saw you're arrival on the "Sophisticated Lady" you have done some work on her since-- Your aground which reminded me of when my dad and his brother grounded the 35 Bristol in the inland water way going to Miami-- so don't feel bad My uncle was Captian of the Yorktown back in the day
Is this a separate grounding than the one that Sophisticated Lady helped with?
@@SctyGrpPowers Has there been more? Just kidding- none of my business-- answer is I only saw the Capt Moore (no relation I think) episode. Looks like your doig good. Bill
Bedankt voor filmpje
Gr
I'm surprised they don't dig a deeper channel so it would be easier to get boats in and out
This happened to me once! I put all the sails up high, hunted the master's boom and the genoa to trim the sailboat and started the engine. I managed to leave without help!
Dag Carin, jemig je bent nog steeds aan je wereldreis bezig. Ga je goed? Lieve groet, Job
Hi Carin -this is Phil -watching you for a while -I remember being stuck with you in st Martin and the boat looks good from here -good luck babe
Hi Phill!!! Haha yes! I forgot that one! It was with Dirk! You know that Dirk passed away?
I didn’t know about dirk -spilled a drop --where are you and is the virus a problem-
It is Always, No Problem ;-)) Sounds like Africa... l.o.l.
Dat was een beetje tricky maar het ging goed!
Hello First one I have been able to find that recently enter Guatamela Rio Dulce. Am looking at a ketch down there but information on travel from American state department and guatamela government is confusing. Noonsite web page is not current. Any website you know that I can view
You better can get in conyact with Raul from Servimar. My embassey helped me to get permission for leaving guatemala

grüsse aus Grenada Peter
I have problems with my Macbook which is overheating after a short period of editing.
how much this all operation costs? we're thinking about going there too some day.
The towing did cost me about 150USD
