Finally cleared into French guyana. A long process to find the right office.

No vaccination 🚫 needed
No test was needed 🚫

Traveling by boat has its perks.

The first few days we were not really able to rent a car nor get the taxis we needed. If we got a taxi it was very expensive.

French guyana is not a easy country. I didn't expect to encounter this many difficulties. After 14 years of experience in traveling the world I was surprised how hard it is. You need a car or you are nothing!

Taxis will certainly always charge you and arm and a leg. It's a pricy country!

3km = 15 euros

39km 150 euros
A melon priced 18 euros as shown in the fotos.

Not really any tourism here. So don't expect any other convenient things in here if you ever decide to come

Here you are on your own!

The nature is very beautiful and rich in flora and fauna. Chicken really enjoyed the stay at at the forest.

We stayed a couple of days in a forest house to recharge our batteries. Tomorrow it's time to return to the boat.

Christoph and I exploring the ruins of the infamous Devil island and Ile Saint Joseph.

Countless cellblocks in the middle of the islands surrounded by dense forest.

Having been a prisoner here meant getting eaten by insects

Exploring the sidearms of the maroni river by catamaran Is a magical experience

The Amazon and it's neighboring rivers are navigable by sailboat or catamaran if you have local knowledge, because these smaller creeks are uncharted.

There is a ride of almost up to 3 meters here. The current is very strong once it's against you. Make sure your engines are serviced

This forest is home to Jaguars,Toucans,Anacondas and many other Exotic Animals

Today was provisionsing for the big crossing to Colombia. Another 1300 miles.

Shopping grocery or anything here does take a big toll on your account. Today's bill was 2090 Euros.

But we do have enough for about 3 month if you don't need fresh things. With fishing we could extend this even further for a crew of 3 to 4 people.

We don't want to get stuck somewhere and depend on the government or anyone. Sufficient supplies of food or other things are paramount if you want to be self-sufficient for a few month on a yacht.

We will depart to Colombia on Tuesday morning. Trying to stop over in Tobago without clearing in. Then continue to Curaçao and shortly after to Colombia.

Arrived in Tobago, our one night stop over. The trip was very relaxed. Littles waves and a light breeze which was perfect for our lightwind sails.

I will upload a few clips from the trip

Enjoy
