I'm wanting to do this next year. I live on Vancouver Island. I hope you can post details on your trip. How do you plan on doing the Darien Gap?

I'm leaving in September from Alberta on a blue tiger 800. I'll follow along and maybe we will cross pathes!

Sounds good. I like whatsapp to communicate also.

It's free anywhere there is wifi.

Dave...

We are exploring options for the Darien Gap.

We will definitely post details of our trip and might even do a travel blog.

I'll be on the stahlratte to cross the darien but I think you may be coming through a bit late. Last sailing for the year is mid November I believe. I have heard some talk of a ferry running semi-regularily though.

Stahlatte
 

Last sailing is Nov 27 out of Panama.(I'm on that sailing) I checked earlier this week they still had room, on both sailings in Oct & Nov. You should get on it, not sure how busy it is that time of year.

I'll be a month ahead of you. October 30th sailing.

After November 27th, what are our options?

You could ride through it.....if you had the time and skills. I've been North to South, and South to North on 4 separate roundtrip rides, and while it is generally a good idea to use the Stahlratte, or one of the other ships, one can have their bike flown from Panama to Cartegena, or.....on one of the roundtrips, we did actually do the ride through the Gap. It was an experience, but with the right bike, and good skills, you can do it.

Lucky for me I was on a '03 Africa Twin 750, which was a lot more serious off-road bike than the new Africa Twin 1000s.

After November 27th, what are our options?

I'm not sure, there are other sailboats apparently. Or flying the bike.

Hi ...I will sail from San Blas on October 30 too ... my WhatsApp +393483919787 ... :)
