:Your best cheap bet might be to put up notices around the Panama Canal Yacht Club in Colon, or the yacht club on the Pacific Side (Balboa Yacht Club?) asking for working passage on a sailboat headed to Cartagena. It's a two day trip. You might have better luck making contacts by working as a line handler on the canal, helping cruisers to transit the canal (line handling doesn't require much strength; one person has to stand on each 'corner' of the boat and throw thick lines (ropes) to handlers on the shore to keep the boat stabilized as it's going through the locks--typically people pay about $50 plus food for local line handlers; if you do it for free for the experience you'll get an in). There are also boats (small cargo ships I think) which take passengers for about $250 and take 4+ days. Are you in Panama now by chance?--[[User:Sovietsleepover|Sovietsleepover]] 20:27, 18 June 2007 (CEST)
